Wife of builder killed in Batman speaks out
The family of Fethullah Tokay, who was executed by police forces during a clash between police and two People’s Defense Force (HPG) members in Batman, told about victim Tokay (36) whose execution by police was recorded by a mobile phone camera.
Tokay, father of three, moved to Istanbul with his family in 1994 when forced to leave their village evacuated by the state. Going through a rough time in Istanbul because of economic problems and pressures, Tokay turns back to his hometown in 2010.
With a lump in the throat while talking about her husband, Tokay’s wife Dilek Tokay said; “He was my better half. Fethullah had a very different personality. His most important feature was to act rationally. He would give particular importance to logic, not feelings. We would sometimes discuss as I acted more emotionally. He was a person loved by people, says Tokay staring into space and lamenting for her husband. One day before the event, on Sunday, he went to Batman to get some materials for the reparation he was going to make in the house. He called us at the day of the event. He spoke with his brother and told that he would come home when he finished his works. When we afterwards heard about the event we called his mobile phone but there was no answer. His phone is still reachable and held by police.”
Dilek Tokay reacts to Prime Minister Erdoðan and asks him if he also feels the same pain in his heart.
Telling about her father in tears, 16-year-old high school student Evin Tokay, the first child of her father, also reacts to the Prime Minister Erdoðan and the government who killed her father and left her without him. “How will they answer us for this?” asks Evin and promises her father to look after her mother and brothers and to study and continue her training which was wished very much by her father.
