"We all know that people who still have conscience and dignity in Turkey feel pain of others. We will survive in these severe days, with support of the solidarity of our people. We will not let these massacres to be covered up. As women of this country, we will call those who have planned and instigated these massacres to account" said the statement of the group, made by Derya Gezer from the Platform.
