One thousand people including writers, artists, lawyers, scientists, NGO representatives and politicians gathered for a press conference in İstanbul to call for peace and democracy.

“We are side by side, we stand together! We are against the single-party state neutralizing the Parliament. We live all together in this country and we do not want to be discriminated as Kurdish or Turkish. We do not want to be discriminated according to our ideologies, sexes, religious beliefs. We are highly concerned about the hateful language spreading among our society, safety of our lives, ethical corruption and social indifference,” they said in their statement.
