AMED – Armored vehicles are driving in circles around several cities in Kurdistan. Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) candidate FeleknasUca has filed a complaint about the military presence.

In the town of Bismil, in Diyarbakır province, an unmarked armored vehicle has been driving in circles around the ZiyaGökalp Primary School schoolyard, where a polling station is set up, since the early morning. HDP candidate FeleknasUca has filed a complaint about the intimidating practice, which she says is a legal violence.

Meanwhile, in the Xalene village of Şırnak, there are eight armored vehicles parked outside a single polling station.

A Danish delegation has been denied access to a polling station in a village in Siirt province, called Gölköy (Zêrin).
