Sinjar said after leaving Istanbul, "Whatever obstacles, challenges and threats, we will continue our struggle for democracy, and whatever Erdogan and those with him do to obstruct the march of peace and democracy, it has become clear that their days are numbered."
For his part, said Parveen Boldan from the city of Edirne, "Erdogan's regime has proven to the world that it is tyranny and a dictatorship that does not respect the most basic standards of democracy and human rights, and in the forefront of that expression of opinion in a peaceful manner."
The demonstrations were scheduled to start today from Edirne in the west of the country and Hakkari in eastern Turkey, and that the two demonstrations meet in the capital, Ankara.
