In the run-up to Turkey’s general elections on May 14, Aras Editor-in-Chief Rober Koptaş joins CivilNet to discuss the third major force in Turkish politics – the HDP, the pro-minority People’s Democratic Party. Koptaş explains why the HDP is not fielding a presidential candidate and why it’s endorsing Kılıçdaroğlu. He also talks about how Turkey’s Armenian community perceives this electoral bloc which is predominantly supported by the country’s Kurdish minority.
