The press statement, which was held by Britain Peace Concil, was supported also by civil society organizations. At the press statement, Britain Peace Concil called attention to the lynch attempts and called for a mutual cease fire.

The press statement, supported by a number of institutions, was held in front of Amnesty International central building.

Following the press statement, a group met the authorities of Amnesty International and gave them the press statement.

The press statement, supported by Peace Compaign for Kurdistan, Fed-Bir, Roj Women Council, Halkevi and Day-Mer, was as follows;

“The condems of ministers and executives shouldn’t be taken into consideration. When the Prime Minister and the General Staff don’t ‘answer’ a political party of Kurdish people and representatives, they will be giving way to attacks against BDP (Peace and Democracy Party). The point remarked at previous attacks in various towns of West Fýrat, is the fact that people are exposed to attacks only because of being Kurd. In Ýnegöl elections, The AKP (Justice and Development Party) majority of votes in the regions, where Kurdish people live intensively, don’t bring them through attacks. A similar case is true of Dörtyol, where the shops of Kurdish people are choosen and vandalized.”
