'I will not leave here until I get my child back.” In Turkey’s southeast, families who lost their children to the PKK recruitment still demand their return
Families in Turkey whose children have been abducted or forcibly recruited by the PKK terrorist organization continued a sit-in protest on Thursday in the southeastern Diyarbakir province.
The families have been protesting for 703 straight days since Sept 3, 2019, encouraging their children to give up their weapons and surrender to authorities. Protests outside the office of the opposition Peoples' Democratic Party in Diyarbakir started with three mothers who said their children were forcibly recruited by the terrorists.

“We want our children back from HDP and the PKK. I will not leave here until I get my child back. I look forward to the day when I will be reunited with my son,” said Elhaman, who encouraged her son to surrender.Demir said he would not stop protesting until his son is returned and he urged his son to surrender to security forces. Some families reunited with their children after they fled PKK, and surrendered to the Turkish forces on July 29 this year.
A mother in Diyarbakir who staged a protest to demand the return of her missing son has finally reunited with him. Hacire Akar says she already lost a son to the PKK terror group and won’t let it happen again
