By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called on citizens not to vote in the parliamentary election for the oppositional Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), Anadolu Agency reported June 5.

He said every vote for HDP is the support for the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

As it was reported earlier, the deputy prime minister, Yalcin Akdogan said that if the HDP will proceed to parliament, it will demand autonomy for Turkey's Kurdish citizens.

The parliamentary election in Turkey will be held on June 7.

Some 20 parties will take part in the election, during which 53,765,231 people are going to cast their votes.

It is expected that the main competition at the parliamentary election will be between the ruling Justice and Development Party and the Republican People's Party.

If the Peoples' Democratic Party overcomes the 10-percent threshold and goes into the parliament, the ruling party will have to form a coalition government.
