NEWSDESK, — Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) co-chair Gulten Kişanak and deputies on Saturday held a press conference at BDP Istanbul office calling on all people to Kazliçeşme area of Istanbul tomorrow saying; “We will celebrate our day in Kazliçeşme, as we promised.”
Kişanak reminded of Newroz’s historical past and said that; “People who created traditions had existed long before the presence of AKP government and Interior Minister Idris Naim Şahin. Throughout the history, people have celebrated this day in search of freedom, with a great enthusiasm and glory. This will not change from now on either. Newroz outgrows prohibitions, it is a great, strong and sacred day, it is the day of the people and it cannot be restrained”, said Kişanak.
She added; “Our party shouldered the responsibility for the Newroz organization to meet the demands of our people. The government could prevent our organization duty but it can never put a ban on Newroz. Our people will be in areas everywhere, they will celebrate their day with a great moral, motivation and enthusiasm.”
Kişanak called on all people to join Newroz tomorrow in Kazliçeşme and addressed the followings to the government; “Our people will celebrate their day without leading to any problem or tension unless the AKP government instructs and the Interior Minister provokes the police to intervene with the people. I hope the government will act with common sense and not dare to encroach upon the will of people. What a democratic government should do is to ensure proper conditions for people to celebrate their day.”
Kişanak ended calling on all workers, women and the oppressed to join the celebrations in Kazliçeşme tomorrow to sing ballads of freedom.
