The Armenians and Kurds lived in Anatolia even before Turks' arrival, HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas said.

Demirtas voices criticism against anti-Kurdish statements of Turkish President.

According to the Turkish website T24.com, Demirtas said that he wants to remind Erdogan: even before arrival of Turks in Anatolia, the Armenians and Kurds lived there.

The HDP leader also mentioned that when Alparslan invaded Anatolia, the Armenians had already lived there.
