An unknown person or persons attacked the party building of People's Democratic Party (HDP) in Keçiören, Ankara at night on Monday (December 12).

The party flags with the logo of HDP were torn apart and the windows were broken in the attack.

The person or persons who carried out the attack wrote on the doors of the party building "How happy is the one who can say I am a Turk" and also sexist swear words.

Since the cameras of the building were not recording those who carried out the attack could not be identified.

Police made an investigation and wrote a report following the event.

Keçiören attacks in the past

There was another attack this summer at the HDP Keçiören party building on August 16, 2022. The banner in the party building with the picture of Aysel Tuğluk, former HDP MP, and party flags were stolen.

HDP officials had made a criminal complaint after examining the camera recordings and stated that there had been many attacks to their party building in Keçiören before again and that they were not able to get any result from the criminal complaints they have made.

In 2020 again the Keçiören party building of HDP was attacked, a note was left in the building with the names of the soldiers who lost their lives in Idlib, and a Türkiye flag was erected. (TY/PE)
