Saying that they will continue to seek justice, Ferit said: "We do not accept to stay at home. We live under persecution. We continue this struggle with solidarity. Three of our people were killed. We have a promise to them. We will not give up our struggle for justice before those who committed the massacre appear before the judiciary and give account."
