We will start this great march tomorrow from two points. The main purpose of our march includes the hunger strike started in prisons and support for the Justice Watch that our mothers started outside. We have suffered a lot because of the Kurdish Issue is not solved. We will continue to do our best in the parliament, in the cities and on the streets for a peaceful democratic solution to the Kurdish issue. We call out once again, I hope a way will be opened before the hunger strikes turn into a painful situation. This is why we are organizing this freedom march.
