21:18     2 October, 2015

As November 1 election campaign has already started, the head of Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) has promised to restrict the power of the Turkish president to a "symbolic level." This was declared by HDP co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş, Hurriyet reports.

"Yes, the regime will change: We’ll build a regime of justice. We must carry on the path with politics, with wisdom, and with peace. As [Mahatma] Gandhi said: Destroy injustice with justice and stand to applaud with bloodless hands," he added.

Demirtaş again said that his party will cross the 10 percent election threshold.
