BRINGING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT Engin Erkiner

Saturday Mothers will gather for the 1000th time this week. A little more than 19 years ago, there were numerous bans, police attacks and protests before the 1000th time.detentions took place.

Despite the pressure and prohibitions, 1000 Being able to come together for the first time shows a great resistance. It cannot be said that this great resistance has been able to progress with appropriate results.

The past is constantly being brought to the present… Finding the missing and freeing sick prisoners it is requested to be left. As far as I know, no casualties were found, persons responsible for the loss people who were affected were not tried either. ensuring the release of some of the prisoners. The number is small, but it is better than nothing.

Saturday Mothers should take their resistance to international platforms. It has been seen enough in the country that it is not possible to achieve different results by doing the same things over and over again. While the Saturday protests continued, the international press and human rights organizations, in particular, 0, 0);">it needs to be better reflected in different organizations.

Saturday Mothers, Playa in Argentina It is our continuation of the mothers who held accountable for those who were lost during the country's fascist dictatorship in del Mayo Square.

< span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Some prominent figures of the fascist dictatorship period in Argentina were punished, albeit inadequately. While officers did not testify against each other in the courts, an officer's daughter did what her father did.He would testify in court how he described the tortures at home.

I do not think these developments are known enough in our country.

If it were known, the women in Argentina would be at the 1000th protest of the Saturday Mothers.a joint conference could be held with its representatives. If it is not allowed to be held in Turkey, it could be held in a European country. Such a conference would not only make an international impact, but also have massive participation.

I hope the importance of such initiatives will be understood in the future. It seems that the country has reached the end of the road. You cannot progress by repeating the same things
