In a statement on Friday, the Initiative announced that 2,876,709 signatures have been collected in 35 days. According to the initiative, the target of the campaign is 3 million signatures and the activities will continue until this target is reached.
The signatures collected within the scope of the campaign will be sent to the Council of Europe on April 4, the birthday of the Kurdish leader.
