Our election bus, which completed the election campaigns in Van today and set off for Adıyaman in the evening, was attacked by HDP members in Silvan.
Under normal circumstances, if we had not changed our decision at the last minute and returned to Ankara by plane, we would have been in the convoy that was attacked. Fortunately, there were no casualties and no injuries, but our election bus suffered some damage.
They tried to stop our bus but our vehicle did not stop and broke through the attack barricade. We pulled the bus to the Gendarmerie area. We think that they thought that I was in the convoy and attacked.
However, some of the anonymous and troll accounts are trying to judge us over the provocative action in Erzurum and in their minds "they want to create pressure to withdraw." Dear Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu supporters, if that's the case, come on, condemn the HDP, which announced that they support Mr Kemal, condemn this attack, condemn this attack, show your reaction to the HDP that supports you after this attack!
Do you think it's normal for these two events to happen on the same day?
On the day of the elections, there may be major incidents in the south/eastern constituencies. We need to be very vigilant.
