I'm skeptical about this whole HDP thing... I mean, it's good that they're playing it cool and not fielding their own candidate, but at the same time, I don't want Erdogan to get a free pass just because Kilicdaroglu is throwing his hat into the ring. 
What about all the other opposition parties? Are they going to sit this one out too?And yeah, it's interesting that Kurdish voters are leaving Erdogan's camp, but won't we see some kind of backlash from him and his AKP crew? The HDP has been a thorn in his side for years... this might just be another way for Erdogan to divide and conquer.
Still, I guess it's all about playing the game wisely, like Hisyar Ozsoy said. Let's see how this all plays out... 
. And if the HDP doesn't put up a candidate, that just means Kemal Kilicdaroglu is gonna have an easier run at it. I'm kinda worried about what this means for Turkey's future, like will they be able to move forward without all these tensions and stuff? It seems like Kurdish parties might finally get some breathing space... 
fingers crossed it all works out for them.
It could either go in favor of Erdogan or Kilicdaroglu depending on how things play out. I'm low-key hoping for a more peaceful and inclusive election, but we all know Turkey's politics can get pretty intense 
. The fact that Kurdish voters have been leaving Erdogan's camp is definitely a worrying sign 
. Can't help but wonder if this is the end of an era for Erdogan's rule?
