Three political parties in Parliament Tuesday slammed the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Van deputy Tuğba Hezer after she attended the funeral of the perpetrator of the Ankara bombing that claimed 29 lives on Feb. 17. Speaking at their respective parliamentary group meetings, the chairmen of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party), Republican People's Party (CHP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) condemned Hezer, calling her actions treason."Attending the condolence ceremony held for a suicide bomber that caused bloodshed and remembering him with respect is the biggest betrayal against humanity," Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said in his address. CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, whose party has been in close contact with the HDP, especially since the June 7 elections, also condemned Hezer's decision to attend the funeral. "All political parties should strike a loud and clear attitude against terror. Attending the condolence ceremony of a terrorist is not appropriate and is treason. We condemn it and do not approve of it," Kılıçdaroğlu said. MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli voiced his dissatisfaction with people setting up a condolence ceremony for a terrorist. "The presence of the rotten [people] who embrace murderers while our nation mourns its dead is the most obvious indication of what we've become," Bahçeli contended. On Sunday, Hezer visited the condolence home in Van province, where she is a deputy, and offered her condolences to the family of the PKK splinter group Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) terrorist named Abdülbaki Sönmez, also known as "Zınar Reperin," the alleged perpetrator of the Ankara bombing, although sources from the prosecutor's office investigating the attack deny his connection, saying it is misleading efforts to prevent blaming the Democratic Union Party's (PYD) Peoples' Protection Units (YPG).Davutoğlu also rejected the TAK's claim of responsibility and said the link between the PKK and the PYD and its YPG was detected in the Ankara bombing and the perpetrator, who was claimed to be a Syrian national, was identified as Salih Nejar from fingerprints taken when he entered the country.The HDP has often been criticized for its alleged failure to distance itself from the PKK terrorist organization. HDP deputies also added fuel to the debate with seemingly controversial remarks. HDP Co-Chair Figen Yüksekdağ said in July that her party supported the PYD and its YPG, the Syrian affiliate of the PKK. "We lean on the YPJ [Women's Protection Units], YPG and PYD and we do not see any harm in supporting them," she said.Another HDP deputy, Abdullah Zeydan, also said in late July that the PKK has the power to "drown Turkey with its spit."In addition, other HDP officials have been accused of aiding and abetting the PKK terrorist organization. The pro-Kurdish did not condemn the PKK's decision to take the war into urban areas, either. HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş made remarks regarding PKK urban terrorists who had stoked the flames of a new conflict and caused hundreds of thousands of people to flee, calling them "a few youngsters with arms in their hands."Hikmet Genç, a columnist for Yeni Şafak daily, said the example of a deputy attending the condolence ceremony of a terrorist cannot be seen anywhere in the world and asserted that the HDP has become a total political propaganda tool for the PKK. "We are experiencing something really rare. Nowhere in the world can one attend the condolence ceremony of a suicide bomber. Even the family of the perpetrator would not attend it, let alone a [representative from a] political party," Genç said."If it happened in the U.S. If someone expected understanding for a suicide bomber and attended his condolence ceremony, people would bury them deep in the ground," Genç contended, adding that only a hostile country would commit such an act and attend the condolence ceremony of a suicide bomber that claimed 28 lives near Parliament.Underscoring that he is fully in favor of the voicing of even the most extreme and opposing ideas, Genç suggested that the current situation cannot be explained with democracy. "Such people shall not do politics. They shall be punished legally," he added.When asked about the common stance of the three political parties on the issue, Genç said it is important to see solidarity among political parties in Parliament. Commenting on Kılıçdaroğlu's statement, who has for some failed to strike an attitude of national conciliation before, Genç said he had no option but to condemn Hezer."We cannot say the CHP passed its test in terms of its stance against terror, yet it would have been suicide if Kılıçdaroğlu had not condemned it. If he had not condemned it, [former CHP Chairman Deniz] Baykal's criticism would have proven right," Genç said, adding that one cannot say that the CHP did not turn into a "HDP-like party."
