At this point in time, when all their calculations have misfired, and both military defeat and political isolation seem inevitable, Demirtaş is looking for a way out by getting the HDP banned. Indeed, if one is to go by the letter of the law, both his personal statements and the decisions adopted by the DTK decisions are more than enough to get both legal Kurdish parties banned several times over. But this is precisely what he wants; he is trying to extricate a new victimhood, hence a new self-righteousness and perhaps even a social uprising from the shambles. The smart policy is not to give him this opportunity. “Laissez dire, laissez parler” (let him talk, let them say whatever they want). Read this last virtually insane provocation correctly, and abandon the PKK and the HDP to their deepening solitude.
