Communications Director Fahrettin Altun said: "Kurdish and Turkish mothers are speaking out against PKK/YPG’s decades of child recruitment when the international community is silent about this war crime.”
On his Twitter account, Altun shared a video about the sit-in protest that the mothers of children abducted by the terrorist organization PKK/YPG started on September 3 in front of HDP Provincial Office in Diyarbakır.
Starting with a Kurdish requiem, the video shows historical and cultural sites of Diyarbakır and includes the views of mothers wishing to reunite with their children.
Highlighting that the international community remained silent about this war crime, Altun noted the following in his message in English:
"Kurdish and Turkish mothers are speaking out against PKK/YPG’s decades of child recruitment when the international community is silent about this war crime. Among the biggest victims of decades-old PKK/YPG violence and child recruitment are Kurdish mothers! They were silenced out of fear for retribution. They aren’t afraid of speaking out anymore! They say, enough!
All terror organizations pursue similar recruitment methods and are supported by similar groups. They hurt civilians the most. These mothers want their children back. Will the International community listen?”
