'THE KURDISH PEOPLE WHO THE TURKISH STATE DENY ARE EVERYWHERE'

This plan, which is reflected to the public as 'MGK decisions' and is a 'collapse plan', is called the death plan. While the solution process was continuing and the Kurdish people had strengthened their will for peace in the face of this 100-year-old denial, the state announced that it was putting the process on the refrigerator. The Kurdish people, whom the Turkish state denied and whose language and identity it ignored, are everywhere today. Kurds did not abandon his geography, language, culture, identity and struggle just like Mother Taybet."
