FIRST COMMENT FROM DEMİRTAŞ AFTER THE DECISION
Former HDP General Chairman Selahattin Demirtaş published a statement following the ECHR decision. The statement made in his own handwriting on Demirtaş's social media account is as follows: "Hello, the ECHR decision is certainly important and legally binding. However, not only from our perspective but also from the perspective of our 86 million citizens, the 'brotherhood law' among us is more valuable than anything else. The brotherhood law is strengthened by our social, economic, and legal efforts and steps to live together equally, freely, justly, and peacefully. Issues should be addressed not through the concepts of winning, losing, hatred, and revenge, but through the concepts of a common future and common sense. Wishing that every step taken serves peace, tranquility, and prosperity, hoping to meet in free days, I send my greetings and love."
