The Saturday Mothers and Peace Mothers expressed their views at the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) commission meeting, emphasizing the importance of speaking Kurdish and calling for the cessation of arms.
THE SATURDAY MOTHERS AND PEACE MOTHERS SPOKE AT THE COMMISSION
At the commission meeting, the first to speak was the Saturday Mothers. İkbal Eren Yarıcı, speaking on behalf of the families, stated that the commission's willingness to meet with the Saturday Mothers was an important step and said that a similar commission should be established for the Saturday Mothers as well.
REFUSAL OF KURDISH SPEECH REQUEST FROM KURTULMUŞ
Nezahat Teke, speaking on behalf of the Peace Mothers, expressed that she could better articulate herself if she could speak Kurdish at the commission, stating that she was saddened by her inability to speak Kurdish. In response, DEM Party Erzurum Deputy Meral Danış Beştaş indicated that she could serve as a volunteer translator. TBMM President Numan Kurtulmuş stated that the rules in the General Assembly apply to the commission meeting and therefore would not allow for translation. Teke said, "Look, I cannot express myself in Kurdish here, I am really very sad about this because the pains I have endured, the lullabies, the tears we shed were all in Kurdish. When we heard Öcalan's statements in Diyarbakır on February 27 and with the establishment of the commission, a hope was born within us. But since February 27, we are now in the 8th month, and there has been no step taken. Our efforts are solely for the sake of not having mothers cry. So what is needed for this? The arms must fall silent and steps must be taken.
Finally, Peace Mother Rebia Kıran, who took the floor, began her speech in Kurdish. TBMM President Numan Kurtulmuş warned Kıran to continue her speech in Turkish. Following Rebia Kıran's speech, the commission continues with the statements of civil society organizations.
