DTP Diyarbakir deputy Akin Birdal showed his anger on the attacks saying: "Do they want to hide the effects and results of the economical crisis with the operations carried out against the Kurds and the socialists? Or do they want to prevent us from gathering at Taxim Square in 10 days? Whatever they want, we won't let them achieve their aim." Akin Birdal made a call to the intellectuals asking them to defend the DTP. This call was answered within short time by more than 100 intellectuals.
Amed mayor Osman Baydemir said on the operations: "They can't scare us with death and prisons...The Kurdish people don't become assimilated even if 170 years will pass. It is in fact our demand for peace that has been arrested and faced operations."
