”My dear Kurdish brothers, until today, we have always struggled to deliver your rights to you. We have made determined endeavors to alleviate the suffering that brings tears to mothers' eyes. You are the closest witnesses of our sincere efforts. Of course, there were some shortcomings, the things we wanted to do but could not; but it is obvious what we have brought to Türkiye in the field of rights and freedoms,” Erdoğan said in a statement on Twitter.
Erdoğan continued as follows: ''Whoever tries to resurrect the old Türkiye under the threat of terrorism will find us against it. Whoever tries to put a gun in the hands of poor Kurdish children and make them shoot soldiers, police and our people, will find us in front of them.''
The president concluded his speech by reaffirming his commitment to the Kurdish community and vowing to work towards a more peaceful, prosperous, and free Turkey for all its 85 million citizens, with the support of his Kurdish brothers and sisters. (ILKHA)
