Will Turkey ban the pro-Kurdish opposition for the ninth time in succession?

In a particularly depressing article on their website, the HDP list the history of Kurdish political parties in Turkey. Turkey’s first pro-Kurdish party, the People’s Labour Party (HEP), was established in 1990 and managed to survive three years before being banned. Subsequent pro-Kurdish parties lasted even shorter, just six months in the case of HEP successor the Freedom and Democracy Party (OZDEP). To adapt a phrase from Oscar Wilde, to ban one Kurdish political party might be regarded as authoritarian zeal; to ban nine begins to look like fascism.
