ANKARA - The people commenting on the 4th Ordinary Congress of HDP that doesn't fit into the hall, said the congress is challenging fascism. 

 
Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) 4th Ordinary Grand Congress continues in Ankara Sports Hall (Arena). Many peoplecoming from all around Turkey are waiting outside the hall because of the crawd in the hall. Women are shouting slogans like “Jin jiyan azadî” “Bê serok jiyan nabe”, “Salut, Salut, I Salut you Imralı”, “Oppression can't intimidate us” in their local clothes from all colours.  
 
The police, who were disturbed by the slogans of the crowd that went out of the hall, intervened from time to time. Intervention did not turn into tension with intervention of HDP deputies.
 
The enthusiasm of thousands of people in the hall peaked when the photos of the leaders of Turkish Revolutionary Movement and PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan's photos reflected in the cinevision.
