ALL TOGETHER AGAINST TERRORISM...

As the mothers knowing very well about the terrorism disaster and having lost their 30 thousand children in terrorism, we believe that all the humanity will take important lessons from the terrorist activities conducted in the USA. We hope that we will not be exposed to such catastrophic attacks again to realize the dimensions of international terrorism and damage caused by it to humanity.

We are the ones who can best understand the grief of the US people. Because, 30 thousand of our people have been killed and thousands of them have been disabled as a result of the activities of the terrorist organizations such as the PKK, Hizballah, DHKP/C and ASALA, which are the reflections of terrorism in Turkey. We would like to express that, in terms of terrorism and cruelty, these organizations are no different from the individuals and organizations that conducted the terrorism of the millennium.

Those tolerating terrorism, which does not differentiate between religions, races and sexes, are at least as guilty as terrorists. Anyone making way for terrorism or supporting or having sympathy for it is not loyal to humanity.

Terrorism is a devil standing against the contemporary world. No matter where it is, poisonous branches of the terrorism tree can reach every part of the world.

On behalf of all the mothers in Turkey who know very well about the terrorism disaster, we call all the mothers of the free and democratic world to come together in the name of democracy, human rights and universal peace, and to struggle with this great enemy together. We believe that this is a moral obligation of humanity for thousands of children, women and elderly people who lost their lives in terrorist acts.

As the mothers and women saying "no to terrorism now and till the end of time", let's form a joint platform through the Internet against international terrorism.

Let's celebrate the day September 11th as the " Day for World Struggle against Terrorism and Commemorating the Victims of Terrorism".

Let's not harm the universal peace and brotherhood in the struggle with terrorism. Unlike terrorists, let's fight with terrorism with determination within the framework of democratic rules but without giving harm to innocent people, until it is eradicated.

Yours sincerely,

Turkan Aksu
General Director of the Turkish Mothers' Association
