“We strongly condemn the repeated actions against innocent citizens,” and “this government’s brutal actions and massacres against innocent citizens must be stopped immediately as it is a crime that causes accountability in history and in law.” the party urged.
The party added that “as we have repeatedly tried to express, the complex political problems of our country cannot be solved by war, but only by dialogue.”
