DAD: We are fighting for the truth
 
Democratic Alevi Associations (DAD) Headquarters also made a written statement regarding the Labor Day. The statement emphasized that the struggle for labor is also a struggle for freedom and said: “There was no lack of pressure, intimidation and massacres against those who struggle for labor, peace, democracy and human rights in every field. For this, it is a historical responsibility that all laborers work in join hands. Struggling against the resistance of this moral stance and the historical legacy of the laborers is a necessity of respect for the memories of those who were massacred in this struggle. With the courage we got in the resistance fire of Newroz and the hope we get from women's struggle for freedom, we fight for truth and labor.”
