Tülay Hatimoğulları Oruç (born 1977) is a Turkish linguistics rights activist and politician. She is the Co-Chair of the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party and a member of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

Early life and education

Tülay Hatimoğulları Oruç was born in Samandağ, Hatay Province in 1977 [1] and studied economics at the Anadolu University. [1]

Political career

Her adherence to political socialism defined itself during high school. [2] Tulay Hatımoğulları Oruç was elected Co-Chair of the SYKP in 2016. [3] In the parliamentary elections of June 2018 she was elected to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey representing the Adana Province for the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP). [4] On the 17 March 2021, the Turkish state prosecutor before the Court of Cassation, Bekir Şahin filed a lawsuit at the Constitutional Court demanding for her and 686 other politicians a five-year ban for political activities. [5]

Political views

As the Co-Chair of the Religion and Faith Commission of the HDP, [6] she defends the protection of the cultural rights of the minorities in Turkey according to the Treaty of Lausanne from 1923. [7] She opposed the deployment of Turkish troops to Libya. [8] She is also on the view that Kurdistan exists, which in November 2021 prompted a trilateral discussion between her, fellow HDP Politician Garo Paylan, and the Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar who denied the existence of a Kurdistan, be it in Turkey or Iraq. [9] When in May 2022 several performances of Kurdish artists were banned, she demanded an information whether there existed an order from the Turkish Government banning such performances. [10]

Oruç criticizes the contact ban imposed on Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), and calls for his release, and also identifies the " Kurdish problem" and the "Palestinian problem" as two significant challenges in the region that democratic confederalism can potentially resolve. [11]

Personal life

She was raised in an Arab household and identifies as a feminist and an Alawite. [2]
