As “Armenpress” reports, citing Agos Weekly, leader of the Federation of Assyrian Organizations Ergil Turker has declared that the hunger strike is a response to the crime that was committed in the past. Turker also said all the Assyrian organizations of the Turabdin region, which is considered the holy place for Assyrians, support the hunger strike. Editor of the Assyrian Sabro newspaper Tuma Celik mentioned that the events commemorating the events of 1915 would continue in Turkey throughout the year.
