However, we aim to collect more than 1 million signatures. The feature of this campaign is to socialise peace.

These signatures to be given to the Parliament are important and meaningful in terms of bringing peace to the country.”

Duman added: “Botan (Mardin-Şırnak-Siirt region) people paid a great price in the struggle for freedom and democracy. Three lives in each family were given for this cause. In fact, it is this region that needs peace the most. Therefore, it embraces this signature campaign and takes it seriously. All oppressed peoples in Turkey have suffered from this war. Everyone stands to gain from peace. For this reason, we call on all the peoples of Turkey to embrace peace and this process.”
