We talked to Ekinci about the attack.
"On this day we were there to film the people who arrived in the city to morally support the resistance of the people of Serêkaniyê and the SDF fighters. The convoy had not reached the city when the Turkish planes bombed it between 3 and 4 pm," Ekici told.
The aim of the Turkish state is to expel the population through massacres and invasions, said Ekinci and added; “This happened before the eyes of the whole world, Erdoğan was given the green light. That was a shame, especially for the forces that allowed these attacks.”
Ekinci stressed that the Turkish state could act as cruelly as it wanted yet he would not be intimidated and continue to bring the truth to the public as a journalist.
