Commemoration of Aytac Baran
Head of Ihya-Der Association Aytac Baran was remembered today at the place he was murdered. At the remembrance attention was drawn to the speech that was given by Aytac Baran during the 6th-7th October incidents to stop the attacks.
Member of Prophet Lovers Platform, the new head of Ihya-Der Association Aytac Baran was remembered today where he was mercilessly shot dead at the assassination.
Family and friends of Aytac Baran all gathered together in Sumer Mosque in Istasyon Square today and walked to Sehitlik district where he was murdered.
During the demonstration people shouted takbeer as well as saying ‘PKK get out of Kurdistan’. They were also shouting slogans such as, ‘Parliament is going to be Selahattin’s grave’, ‘An eye for an eye’, ‘Freedom for Hezbollah’, ‘Hezbollah attack PKK’, ‘Our way is your way Aytac’.
‘Don’t defend the murderers, protect your brothers and sister’ and ‘Your way is our way Aytac Baran’ banners were also held by a group of people in the demonstration.
The remembrance began with Muhammed Abdulhadioglu’s reading of Quran and continued with the stories of Baran’s life by Ibrahim Yaz, his best friend.
“We saw the morals of Islam in the sight of Aytac”
“We saw the morals of Islam in Aytac. We desired him. He was the father of the orphans. He was poor himself but he always tried to help the poor. He always had packages that he would give out to people for support and not once did we ever witness him taking one home. With the help of Allah we will be walking his path.” said Ibrahim Yaz.
“He was always ahead of us in any situation”
“He was always ahead of us in any difficulties we faced. He was never scared he was just brave. During the 6th-7th October attacks our association was crowded by about 500 people ready to attack but Aytac managed to stop them by saying ‘Don’t turn against each other we are all Muslims and we are too the children of this folk. We are being tricked don’t be trapped in their games. Don’t forget that we are Muslims and we will not obey anyone’. The crowd clapped at Aytac after giving this speech. And you cruel people have murdered this man of peace.” said Yaz.
After Yaz’s speech Seyhmus Tanrikulu the HUDA PAR MP of Diyarbakir made explanations. (ILKHA)
