The Kurdish Freedom and Democracy Alliance (Turkish: Kürt Özgürlük ve Demokrasi İttifakı, KÖDİ; Kurdish: Tifaqa Azadî û Demokrasiyê ya Kurd, TADK) is an alliance of Kurdish political parties in Turkey founded on 3 April 2023 ahead of the 2023 Turkish general election.

## History

[edit]

On 3 April 2023, in Diyarbakir, nine Kurdish parties led by the Peoples' Democratic Party and the Green Left Party announced the creation of an alliance. The alliance called for voting for the Green Left Party in the parliamentary election, saying that "the 14 May 2023 elections are a historic opportunity to restore democracy in Turkey and resolve the Kurdish issue". The parties also called for the release of all political prisoners and called on the government to "end the isolation" of imprisoned Kurdistan Workers' Party leader Abdullah Öcalan and other political prisoners in Turkey.[1]
