People are aware of what is happening, because we are all conscious people, we have become conscious. Social media is very strong in this regard. We read, listen, see. Selahattin Demirtaş’s tweets were very effective. We have received great support from the HDP, and we can never underestimate it. I want the democracy alliance to continue. For us, rights, law, justice and democracy are beyond anything. If people get to live more justly, then we all get to continue our lives more free, independent and democratic.
