Women are determined people. They have the biggest role in carrying humanity to the future. They bear a virtue which makes everything it touches meaningful and glorifies them.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that it is women who carry men to the point of taking responsibility for being human. Therefore, women should be mentioned as a gender that has the power to transform not only men but the whole world.
Sakine was one of the hands that have brought beauty to the world. She was representing a major part of peace, brotherhood and goodness, what we all have been voicing for years now...
Sakine's hands were brave, hands that would take you out of malicious traps, if so needed be. Hands that fraternally and comradely bundled you up. The owner of those hands would smile at life with hope, despite all the pain and unspeakable torture she faced, despite the shadow of death never leaving her alone. She was a beautiful, good person in pursuit of the truth, walking her way with honor and without fear, carrying the heart of a lion in the body of an honest gazelle holding the head straight.
Sakine from Dersim, in love with peace and freedom, with her brave warm heart, and her courage red like her hair!
My honest and brave fellow, did they break your hands leaning towards goodness, those hands that should rather have been kissed with respect? Did they draw your body away from this fight and love for they couldn't lay their hands on your soul? Did they separate you from us, from your nearest and dearest ones, with a bullet?
To believe and to understand, one more difficult than the other... Why do beautiful people always die untimely? Why is it always them who are first laid in the cold and wet bosom of Mother Earth?
They are still hungry for shedding our blood and taking our lives, and they still didn't understand that one of us will take over the soul of anyone taken from us, and proudly bear it , even if they kill us one by one or ten by ten...
This was the only way you could silence someone whom you didn't manage to force on her knees, nor to make ask for mercy under torture. You killed Sakine and her friends in a malicious ambush.
Sakine was unreachable to those who feed on bloodshed and violence. She needed to be taken down, and they did so indeed! However, they couldn't understand that Sakine isn't the only set standing like a mountain before hate and violence. Mothers have given birth to many other Sakines! Once they take one down, they will find themselves facing another !
Paris, city of lovers! You have once again devastated me with the news of Sakine's death, after that of Yılmaz Güney and Ahmet Kaya. You tore my heart a part. Do not spit blood and pain any more, as the most improper deaths are brought up inside you. However, as you are the witness now; at least you, tell us the murderers of Sakine, even if all secrets remain hidden deep in the night!
I will not say “May Sakine rest in peace”, for she, who spent all her life for peace and victory, will never rest in peace on these lands unless her demands are fulfilled.
So, our duty is much heavier now!
We shall not allow service for the dirty aim standing behind Sakine's murder. We shall shout at the faces of the cruel with more determination now, so that they see once again, that no cruelty of theirs will be able to desist us from the struggle. They should know that the last adventurer is walking on ways, and is still wounded!
