Speaking at the press meeting, DTK Co-Chair Aysel Tuðluk said that; “We hope they are still alive. We will march to the area and look for them there until we get a result. The Kurdish people have the honor to protect their children who are not showed respect even in the case of death.”
Tuðluk pointed to Prime Minister Erdoðan as the responsible for the deaths and underlined that the Kurdish people will in no way submit themselves to the war the Prime Minister has waged against them.
