15% of Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) voters to say ‘yes’

Kurds for Erdogan!

Not an insubstantial demographic - there are quite a lot of conservative Kurds (heck, Turkey's Kurdish population is exploding dramatically, so they really need those votes).

I understand that there is a Kurdish Hezbollah? Most Kurds are rural and generally poorer and less educated than other Turks, so it follows that some of them would be conservative, at least more naturally than them being feminist pro-LGBT left-wingers (which is what most of them do vote for).

To be honest, all this ordeal proves to me is that Western Europe is, culturally and socially, just a much worse fit than countries like the US or Canada for the assimilation of immigrants.

Are you saying our societies are structurally designed to not be able to integrate/assimilate immigrants, compared to the US or Canada? Rather than the evident historical and geographical factors at work here?

Multiculturalism vs. Integration.
