Families of Gezi victims, Suruç victims and Saturday Mothers are also taking their place in the vigil of resistance in Gırêmîra neighborhood of Mardin's Nusaybin's district.

While Berkin's mother Gülsüm Elvan says “Every child killed in Botan is a Berkin to me”, Medeni's mother Fahriye Yıldırım said those persecuting people in Botan region of Kurdistan will also end up like all the other tormentors on the world.

'I KNOW THIS PAIN VERY WELL'

Gülsüm Elvan, mother of 15-year-old Berkin who was killed by police during Gezi protests in Istanbul two years ago, recalled that she had in the same way waited for her son to recover in hospital for 9 months. “I was also dying outside while Berkan died slowly under intensive care. That's why I am very much familiar with the pain suffered today by the families of those trapped in the basement in Cizre. Their families are also watching them die now, just like what happened to me. I would love to heal one of them by dressing the wounds.”

Elvan said every child killed in Botan is a Berkin to her, and called for an end to the ongoing massacres.

'THOSE RESISTING FOR CİZRE SHOULD ALSO RESIST FOR BOTAN'

Berkin's mother also called upon all those who resisted for Gezi to embrace the resistance in Botan today, addressing the following remarks to the democrat circles in Turkey; "The state also murdered unarmed people during Gezi protests. Berkin had bread in his hand when he was shot, and he was later labelled 'protester'. They are telling a lie, in the same way they murder people here today and call them 'terrorist' later."

'THEY WANT TO EXECUTE THE WOUNDED IN CİZRE'

Fahriye Yıldırım, mother of Medeni, who was killed by soldiers during a protest in Amed's Lice district two years ago, also criticized state of siege AKP imposes on Kurdish people, describing the government's practices as an “inexpressible atrocity”.

Referring to the torture suffered by the wounded people trapped in a basement in Cizre, Yıldırım stressed that the state was after a plot against the people there and wanted to execute them by telling a lie over ambulance access. “This atrocity hurts my heart”, she said.

'ERDOĞAN TELLS LIES AND CALLS FOR VIOLENCE'

Yıldırım pointed out that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told lies and called for violence even after a prayer in mosque, adding; "What sort of a Muslim is he? He is murdering unborn and 3-month-old babies, women and children, and later says they were killed in clashes. What kind of unjustness is this?". Yıldırım underlined that those persecuting people in Botan region of Kurdistan will also end up like all the other tormentors on the world.
