Families stage a sit-in protest outside provincial office of the Turkish opposition political party HDP in Diyarbakir, accusing it for forcing their children to join PKK terror group
Fevziye Cetinkaya claimed her 17-year-old son had joined the ranks of the PKK terror group through members of the Peoples' Democratic Party in Turkey's southeastern province of Diyarbakir.
She said she approached the police on Monday along with her husband Sahap Cetinkaya and filed a complaint."They either hid my child here or took him somewhere else... I will not leave until my child is back," she added."They send children of poor people [to PKK]... I want my son back, nothing else. We raised these children under hard conditions and sent them to schools," he said.
He called on families to protect their children against the terror group and urged all political parties to react to PKK oppression.
