A push by Turkish authorities to dissolve the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) party, if successful, would “further undermine democracy” in Turkey, the U.S. State Department said on Wednesday.

In a statement, the department also called the stripping of HDP deputy and human rights advocate Omer Faruk Gergerlioglu of his seat “troubling.”
