Mothers who could not receive the bodies of their children who lost their lives on different dates in the Cizre district of Şırnak, reacted to the KDP's practices regarding the bodies and supported the ongoing demo in Semalka.

 

SHE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE BODY OF HER DAUGHTER FOR 7 YEARS

 

Hizne Aslan, mother of Hacer Aslan, who lost her life in Cizre during the curfews on December 14, 2015, said: “Our children were murdered in Cizre  basements before the eyes of the whole world. The whole world played ostrich. We are waiting for the bones of our children. As long as I exist, I will do everything in my power to find my Hacer's bones. I will not stop searching for my daughter's bones. My daughter's body has been missing for 7 years. I gave blood samples twice. The state killed them and buried their bones under a pavement. This is what we know.

 

'NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AKP AND KDP'

 

Stating that the KDP has declared enmity against the Kurdish people, Aslan said, "For us, there is no difference between Barzani and the Turkish state. Barzani's cruelty to his people is not less than the AKP's cruelty. We condemn him. Mothers have been in action in Semalka for days. They only have one demand, and that is to recieve the bodies of their children. If they don't give those bodies, won't those mothers know that these children were murdered by the Barzani family? We support those mothers until the end.. We also want our children to have a grave. We want a grave where we can go and pray."
