Last Sunday the Peace Mothers have staged a new sit-in protest to ask an end to military operations. They had also asked to see the Turkish General Staff and yesterday they had a reply from the its office. The Peace Mothers received a telephone call and were told that their request for a meeting will be answered within the next 15 days. The Peace Mothers spent the night in their tents at Abdi Ipekçi Park, in Ankara. Should a positive answer come, they will also meet with the President of Assembly and AKP Parliamentary Group Deputy Speaker. Today the mothers will make new plans for the next steps to be taken. While waiting for a positive answer to their requests, the mothers last night were shouting slogans like “They must see our pain. We are here not to divide the land but to make the blood stop”.
