Two Cities in South Central Region of Turkey Near Coast See Bombs Rock HDP Locations

Posted by HCN on Tuesday, May 19, 2015
Halkların Demokratik Partisi (HDP), also known as in Kurdish  Kurdish: Partiya Demokratik a Gelan, Kurdish involved, had two locations, apparently appearing to headquarters, in Mersin and Adana hit by bombs that came in concealed mundane disguises, sometime between yesterday and today, thereabout.

Wikipedia says, "The HDP is a democratic socialist party that adheres to anti-capitalism and aspires to end religious, gender and racial discrimination. The party has a 50% quota for women and a 10% quota for the LGBT community when fielding candidates." [Source, as well as HDP article spelled out, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peoples'_Democratic_Party_(Turkey)]

It might be important to note when assessing different groups, such as political groups or activist groups, that the actions, direction the group is trying to take, is the identifier, going beyond the outward name in understanding the group.

In regions of the world, the political philosophy of a party has different implications; for example, democracy is often indicative of the opposite of communism, or, democracy is the opposite of an unjust while oppressive system.  The case might not always carry over to meet such definitions.  Going further, capitalism versus communism is a common perception of beginner level economic systems as they relate to government; the Wikipedia article cited above says HDP is "anti-capitalist".

Democracy in the name of some groups, might not be the same democracy that the U.S. has, nor in understandings in other regions of the world.

Sometimes the name of a group has aspects of the name and what is being brought across lost in the translation, for example from one language to English.

Kurds and Kurdish, yes, have culture and heritage that is complex, and has history that exceeds the glimpse media has shown in recent decades of a region in a struggle for autonomy or independence; it is true that some of human histories most respected shayuwkh, plural of shaykh, or elder learned men of knowledge of Islam, have in the Kurdish region.


'Kurdish weight to pull weight for things the Kurdish that carried weight never wanted to go', is a concern that has loomed in widespread regions as it pertains to varying groups, activists, parties as they come.

The group within the group within the group, has historically been a cause for international concern when not all of the strata of the sub-groups or futile attempt to seek shelter in a group, are thinking the same principles.

When western media steps up to cover a major event, they might shorten some of the phrases in the story, for example HDP spelled out to just Kurdish parties; that is when careful discretion and discernment is necessary, as the face of all Kurdish parties, might not be the same face of just one party calling themselves Kurdish, or haphazardly stating they promote democracy, that made the news.
