IHH President Bülent Yıldırım said that, “I want a make a confession here. You haven’t heard this word from me during my 30 years striving. I want to share this reality with you. Our hands got weaker after this agreement. The first time we feel weak against Israel.”

IHH President Bülent Yıldırım in his speech, “my dear brothers, as you know the blockade is not lifted. Actually it is getting more cruelty in every passing day. We see that Israel take important steps to make the blockade legal. None authorities have accepted so far the blockade of Israel. But Israel with word games unfortunately made statement with the words of its council general that Turkiye has accepted the blockade within the last agreement they made with Turkiye.”

After this letter of agreement our hands got weakened

Yildirim said none of the power and political party in Turkiye can see the blockade as legal, “Also this agreement will never fix the relationship between Turkiye and Israel. The relationship breakdown is not only related to Mavi Marmara. We reject the Israel’s system which based on massacre, injustice and unfairness. Relationship with Israel which they are slaughtering Muslims without stopping will never get fixed. I want to make a confession here. You haven’t heard this word from me during my 30 years striving. I want to share this reality with you. Our hands got weaker after this agreement. The first time we feel weak against Israel.”

We will have no difference from them if we don’t stand against oppression

“The war between truth and falsehood has revealed again during the attack on us. In that day, those who were saying ‘you need to receive permission from the authority then got on the way’ showed their face with a different power in 15 July. There will be no difference from them if we do not stand against this oppression.”

I feel proud from my husband that he martyred
