Our action continues with a stronger will. Kurdish community never submitted to oppression and they never will. The Kurdish community must claim this resistance. Those who remain silent will later understand that they are at the wrong side of this. We are saying, 'Break this silence before it is too late and claim this reistance' . Our actions will continue growing as long as the isolation continues. We don't want anything new or different from the Turkish government, all we are saying is for them to respect their own laws.
