'To enter elections as a party is indication of courage'
Orhan Şentürk, one of the textile workers declaring his support for the HDP, told his feelings, "Workers and labourers have lots of problems. None of the parties does not see or care us. But, the HDP is caring us, its candidates are going to factories and introducing its candidates. I will vote for HDP. To enter elections as a party is indication of courage. And we will support this courage."
