The Democratic Regions Party ( Turkish: Demokratik Bölgeler Partisi, DBP, Kurdish: Partiya Herêman a Demokratîk, PHD) is a Kurdish political party in the Republic of Turkey. The pro- minority rights Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) acts as the fraternal party to DBP.
Development
After the 2014 municipal elections, Peoples' Democratic Party and the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) were re-organised in a joint structure. On 28 April 2014, the entire parliamentary caucus of BDP joined HDP, whereas BDP was assigned exclusively to representatives on the local administration level. [3] [4] The BDP has been said to be more hardline, arguably with closer PKK links, than its parent HDP. [5]
At the 3rd Congress of BDP on 11 July 2014, the name of the party was changed to the Democratic Regions Party and a new structure restricting the activities on the local/regional government level was adopted. [6]
On 30 November 2019, Saliha Aydeniz became the Co-Chair of the party. [7]
