My son (Ethem) was tough and strong, just like İmam Ali.
He wouldn't bow down to anyone, he was fearless.
But he wouldn't hurt anyone. He wouldn't stand any on his friends getting hurt.
He dropped out of school before he was 15. He wanted to work to support his family.
All my sons were welding workers. Ethem used to come home with hand burns.
Our children spent their lives working. He still had a social life with friends. He loved his friends.
He went to them sometimes, they even sometimes came to our house. They came pretty often.
Sometimes he came with 4-5 of his friends, they slept in our house. In the morning they all went to work together.
We didn't hurt anybody. Our children didn`t do anything bad.
He saw people protesting there. He was there with his friends.
He didn`t do anything wrong, he was there to protect his people. To protect his mother and father.
My son didn`t do anything wrong. People with machetes are protected but our sons are laid on the floor.
They are all our children. You, you, you! We don`t discriminate, they are all one for us.
But Tayyip is seperating the people. He shouldn`t touch our flowers, he shouldn`t touch our children.
He is having our children killed, then he dares to come out again.
He's entered into people's bedrooms, saying "give birth to and raise 3-4 kids".
What does my giving birth have to do with you?
You *** the old, then make claims upon the young.
Could there be such a thing? He should be ashamed and stop doing all this.
7 of our children have died, all 7 of them are Alevis. So Alevis are always bringing it upon themselves (!)
We are all citizens of this country, we all live under one flag. Is our flag different? Is our country different?
He is a citizen of Turkey and so are we. But why has he singled out our children like this?
That's what makes us all suspicious.
Right after the first court hearing, (police) came here to check our house, they walked along our door step.
They couldn't do anything, they just left. I told them, "Son, we are not afraid of you. Don't come here".
I won't keep quiet. I am telling you, I am not ever going to keep quiet.
He is going to come with me. He is going to come with me. I am going to embarrass Tayyip.
I pulled down the murderer's wig; I pulled down Tayyip's wig as well. I will do all these.
He won't touch our youth anymore.
Kids are doing what they know, they do the best.
Our kids are not walking around with bunch of guards like he does. Our kids are free.
I didn`t go after my son that time. If it was today I would go.
I`m still going for my kid. I won`t let him down this time.
I`m not afraid of Tayyip. Tayyip should be afraid of me.
Because I lost my son.
That`s way I`m not afraid of anyone anymore. Here I am, let him come!
He can also shoot me if he wants.
