Well akhi, unless you go back to the early days where you slaughter hundred thousands of "traitors" and so on, the Kurds will remain traitors. And Kurds have good reasons to be traitors if that's what you're for voting HDP. Turkey is not their nation, they are not turks after all. And the Turkish flag is not the flag of the Kurds. They have their own nation. Kurds have already taken so much shit of being part of Turkey. I'm happy they finally woke up. Not all of them but the majority has.
The thing is Kurds in Turkey used to be stupid and tired, giving their votes to CHP, AKP and even MHP but that has now drastically changed and will continue to do so.
Another reason was Turkey's(AKP's) anti-Kurd policy in Syria. That's another fact why support for HDP has increased. You can't always get what you want. I know and you know very well that you were enjoying witnessing the fall of Kobane. Kobane united the Kurds in all places. From Tehran to Istanbul Kurds raised their voices for Kobane.
I was very sceptical at first tbh with this hippie policy of HDP with gay rights and all that. Because the majority of Kurds in Bakur are conservative after all. But this surprised me greatly and the credit of all of it goes to the man in Imrali. Not only did he manage to get Kurds united with the peace process but even won a seat from Bursa
