DIYARBAKIR, Türkiye (AA) - Another family in southeastern Türkiye joined a sit-in on Thursday against the PKK terror organization, which has kidnapped or forcibly recruited children for decades.
The protest has been going on since 2019 outside the office of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP) in Diyarbakir province.
Naciye Ercan attended the protest for her son, Mazlum, who was kidnapped by the PKK six years ago.
Ercan, who came from Aydin province in the west, said his son was 21 years old when he was kidnapped.
She asked him to return home and surrender to security forces.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of at least 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
