Ankara, March 17, 2021 (AFP) — Turkey's pro-Kurdish party on Wednesday denounced the public prosecutor's request to ban it as a "political coup" attempt and called on its supporters to resist.

"We call on all the democratic forces, the social and political opposition, and on our people to join a common fight against this political coup," the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) said in a statement, calling the prosecutor's appeal to the Constitutional Court "a heavy blow to democracy".
