ANKARA - The Peace Mothers who visited the 'Justice Watch', expressed their solidarity with Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu by saying "Whether you are in the assembly or not, you are our will, you are our MP."

Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, member of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP) who was stripped of from his status as an MP, has been continuing the Justice Watch he initiated at the parliament and now continue in the HDP Head Quarters for 13 days. Visitors continue to come to the sit in at the  HDP Head Quarters building.

Ankara Peace Mothers Assembly visited Gergerlioğlu.

Peace Mother Münibe Koç said: 'Gergerlioğlu is our will. When you are taken into custody at 6 o’clock in the morning, I felt that the whole parliament was collapsed. We thought of Orhan Doğan and Leyla Zana. I hope justice will be served. We always wanted justice. Whether you are a member of the parliament or not, you are our will, you are our MP."

Gergerlioğlu replied, "You are our mothers, who called me when I was released out of custody and expressed your sadness. The people choose me and I choose to resist. They tend to forget that we are not a handful of people. We have at least 7 million people behind us who voted for us."

Visits to the Justice Watch continue.
