Because it's not about those parties, members of those parties don't participate with their political identities but only as a general public.
You wake up at 3am one day with people applauding and playing their cooking pots. You turn on TV but not a single channel has something to say about it. Later on you start crying in your house because of some pepper spray, still nothing but lolcatz in the news.
Next day it's not feasible to hide anything anymore as even the foreign media have it in the top news. Local media starts giving news days after without an excuse or explanation and the first thing they focus is some false news in social media, our only information source.
To top that, Mr. Erdogan is still acting as nothing happened, stating that they are not taking a step backward, going on his ""pre-scheduled"" foreign trips. He still talks about the election results with proud and refers electors as 'we' or 'them', needless to say, democracy I have in mind doesn't have politicians distinguishing their people.
I wish you were here my friend to see it for yourself..

Ok so I understand there is already a discussion going on there (to be honest I don't quite understand this parent thread thing in HN). Let's keep the discussion there and in the meantime this site offers some photographic evidence about the events.

It's quite simple. Click the `parent` link to see which comment I was replying to. The reason why I didn't give the parent link directly is because there are many replies.

Watch very carefully fellow HN users. What you're seeing in this whole turkey fiasco is an amazing act of astro turfing in progress.
