Families of Martyrs’ Organization member Şezye Ibrahîm made a speech during the ceremony held near Martyr Avesta Xabur Martyrdom and said, “Our heroes are enlightening our path for resistance. I am calling on international organizations; your silence against invaders means you are a party to this crime, give up this partnership.”
