'People has no belief in AKP and MHP'

We have visited shopkeepers, villages, media institutions and non-governmental organizations within this period. The residents of the city are showing interest in the HDP. People has no belief in AKP and MHP anymore as they are not caring the problems of people," Özkan said.
'Youths of Taşova don't wander without weapon!'
Özkan resumed his speech, "We paid a visit to the office of Sözcü newspaper. The reporters of the paper threatened us, 'Youths of Taşova don't wander without weapon! Men are killed here in front of police headquarters!'. When we visited Eğitim-Sen (Education Union), they produced news of 'Eğitim-Sen and PKK hand in hand'. The local media is putting us at target.
