The Adana Provincial Organization of the People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) demanded an end to the usurpation of will in the vigil held together with political parties and civil society organizations in the city.

Although there was no ban on demonstrations and events in the city, Turkish police tried to prevent the action. The crowd, surrounded by the police, held a vigil in the square.

The people at the vigil also commemorated Sheick Seîd and his friends on the 99th anniversary of their execution.

DEM Party Adana Provincial co-chair Seyfettin Aydemir paid tribute to Sheick Seîd and his friends and reminded that Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan was given "aggravated life imprisonment" on the day Sheick Seîd and his friends were executed. Aydemir said: "The Kurdish people know very well that the main problem is an insistence on the lack of solution to the Kurdish question. However, the most important issue of this country is the Kurdish question. Neither democracy will come to this country nor the economy will improve unless the Kurdish question is solved. The solution is clear. The solution is to in Imrali."

Aydemir called on AKP-MHP to end the usurpation of people’s will.
