In a particularly depressing article on their website, the HDP list
the history of Kurdish political parties in Turkey. Turkey’s first
pro-Kurdish party, the People’s Labour Party (HEP), was established
in 1990 and managed to survive three years before being banned.
Subsequent pro-Kurdish parties lasted even shorter, just six months
in the case of HEP successor the Freedom and Democracy Party
(OZDEP). To adapt a phrase from Oscar Wilde, to ban one Kurdish
political party might be regarded as authoritarian zeal; to ban
nine begins to look like fascism.
