As the earthquake relief work of the HDP and other opposition organisations has been systematically obstructed by the state for days, HDP co-chair Pervin Buldan has called on Erdogan and his entire cabinet to resign.

HDP’s Co-spokespersons for Foreign Affairs Feleknas Uca & Hişyar Özsoy: “These confiscations seek to monopolize all humanitarian aid in the hands of the government and hide the government’s ineffectiveness in responding to the crisis.”

HDP co-chair Mithat Sancar summarised the main findings and criticisms related to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria at a meeting of HDP’s Crisis Coordination Centre on 13 February.

“Our task today is to strengthen social solidarity networks against the profit-driven economy and ruthless order,” said the HDP, which has set up a crisis team and is deploying 2000 volunteers in the earthquake zone.
