The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation against Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Deputy Dirayet Dilan Taşdemir on charges of being a member of an armed terrorist organization after Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu claimed that she visited northern Iraq's Gara region where 13 Turks were killed.

Turkey's opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) on June 15 started the "March for Democracy against Coup" in the northwestern province of Edirne and the southeastern province of Hakkari.

The march, which aimed to end in the capital Ankara on June 20, has faced restrictions including bans on entry and exit to some provinces due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli, an ally of the government, has accused the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) of "playing with fire" after a "democracy march" it began to hold.

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced on Feb. 25 that it had launched an investigation into the fourth Ordinary Congress of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) after the party played a slideshow that featured photographs of imprisoned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan.

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) lawmaker Mithat Sancar was elected as the new co-chair of the party at a congress on Feb. 23.

Sancar, who has been serving as an MP for the southeastern province of Mardin since 2015, replaced Sezai Temelli at the HDP's fourth annual general congress.

The opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) elected Pervin Buldan and Sezai Temelli on Feb. 11 as its new co-leaders in the party’s third ordinary convention held in the absence of former HDP co-leader Selahattin Demirtaş and six other lawmakers, who are under arrest.

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Istanbul lawmaker Pervin Buldan and HDP deputy co-chair Sezai Temelli have been nominated as prospective co-chairs in the party’s upcoming congress, incumbent HDP co-chair Serpil Kemalbay said during a press conference in Ankara on Feb. 8.

Pervin Buldan, the deputy parliament speaker and Iğdır lawmaker from the Kurdish-issue focused Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), has emerged as a likely candidate to replace jailed HDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş in the party’s upcoming congress scheduled for Feb. 11.

Deputy Parliament Speaker and Kurdish-issue focused Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Istanbul lawmaker Pervin Buldan has testified in court in a case filed into her over "being a member of an armed terrorist organization" in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır. 

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder has said his fellow deputy Pervin Buldan and himself will meet Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ on April 3 to convey their concerns over their co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş, who has launched a hunger strike.
