"NEVRUZ IS THE NAME OF PEACE IN EVERY LANGUAGE"
Speaking at the program, DEM Party Co-Chair Tülay Hatimoğulları said, "This Nevruz sends an important message not only to the government but to all powers in the region and the world. This Nevruz is a call and demand for justice, peace, and prosperity from millions. Nevruz is the name of peace in every language; it is a sign of democracy and freedom. This Nevruz is the first Nevruz of the transition from rebellion to construction, the first threshold. They want to turn the day of the oppressed in the Middle East into night. Unfortunately, the testing ground for every pain is the Middle East."
