The only way to say ‘no’ to this cruelty is to resist. We must stand jointly in one voice, one heart and shoulder to shoulder against this persecution. It is time primarily for the people from Alevi- Qizilbash faith and all the peoples to act jointly. We call upon all to resist against the cruelty of the AKP and the Palace with the spirit of Hüseyin, Kobanê, Shengal, Varto and Cizre”.
