Conciliation Board

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced on Feb. 25 that it had launched an investigation into the fourth Ordinary Congress of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) after the party played a slideshow that featured photographs of imprisoned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan.

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) lawmaker Mithat Sancar was elected as the new co-chair of the party at a congress on Feb. 23.

Sancar, who has been serving as an MP for the southeastern province of Mardin since 2015, replaced Sezai Temelli at the HDP's fourth annual general congress.
