ANKARA - HDP MP Hüseyin Kaçmaz prepared a parliamentary question to convey the attack on the Kurdish workers in Sakarya to the parliamentary agenda. Kaçmaz adressed a question to the Minister Süleyman Soylu if there will be an investigation against the attackers.

 

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Şırnak MP Hüseyin Kaçmaz prepared a parliamentary question to bring the attack of Kurdish workers in Sakarya to the agenda of the parliament. Kaçmaz emphasized the hate language used by the ruling party and its circles polarizing the society and that leads to racist attacks and murders.

 

Stating that these physical attacks which sometimes leads to murder increased during summer when Kurdish workers started to go to western provinces for work, reminded that the footage of the attack can be found on social media.

 

Stating that even though there is a footage showing the attack in all its details, Kaçmaz said AKP Sakarya MP Ali İhsan Yavuz and the Sakarya Governor refuted the attack.

"* As the Minister of Internal Affairs of the country, do you know that Kurdish workers were attacked in an organized manner in Sakarya?
