With the leadership of IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation and the support of tens of NGO’s, the aid convoy for Aleppo set out from Istanbul, after the press statement at Kazlicesme Square. Destination is Cilvegozu border gate.

There is a systematic massacre in Syria. Especially in the last period, the bombings of Assad regime and Russian powers have increased significantly. There is no food in the city and healthcare systems are down. Still, international community is playing the three monkeys.

IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation is organizing an aid convoy for Aleppo, to stop the massacre and to open a corridor for aid.

Within this scope, the volunteers for Aleppo will reach Reyhanli, Hatay on Friday, with thousands of vehicles joining them from different locations of Turkey.

Convoy set out from Kazlıçeşme Square

At the beginning, Bulent Yildirim, head of IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, spoke to the public during the press statement. “Iran will be brought to account!”, “Murderer Russia, get out of Syria!”, “Down with Israel!” and “Long live hell for all tyrants!” was the main slogans during his speech. Here is some headlines:

“Today, during the press meeting i wanted to give you some good news but, unfortunately from the information we received, the ceasefire is broken in Aleppo. They attacked the civilians again.” said Bulent Yildirim at the beginning.

“Last night casualties were to be taken from Aleppo, busses went to the area. But they fired again. Those who violate the ceasefire are not humans. For days, children and women have been massacred. Whole world is watching this. The big powers and and Muslim countries remained silent. Who will answer the call of the women: “Is there anyone to help us?” Where is the people to obey Allah and run to the Jannah. Where are you the people of power? Where are you Muslims if the states remained silent? Why don’t you go out of your beds and support these oppressed? Aren’t you afraid of the curse of these children?

Be Ashamed!

O Ummah!, stand up, wake up, go and save the Muslims! It is you who stopped the oppression against Jews and the Christians. What happened to you now? Be embarrassed from this youth here! Why don’t you fill up the streets? Will you just read poems?

These are our last screams. If Aleppo is burning, we are burning! If Aleppo is dying, we are dying! We did not choose your palaces, your villas, your cars, for a drop of the tear of a child. And we will not. Know that!

Turkey is Pushing for Ceasefire

O the Muslim countries! Where are you? Look, only Turkey is working for the peacemaking. Where is your power? Why do you remain silent? We were happy for a second, thinking that the corridor will be opened and the oppressed people will be saved. But they opened fire again. According to the information we have, Turkey is pushing for ceasefire. Insha Allah(God-willing) we’ll have some good news till night. But for Turkey to be powerful on the table, the people have to be on streets. Where are you o people? Why don’t you fill up the squares?

A Call for Nationalists, Islamists, Iran and “Organization of Islamic Cooperation”

I’m calling nationalists. Aleppo is a Turkmen city. If you’re nationalists, where are you? Why don’t you go out to squares? I’m calling Islamists, why aren’t you on streets? If you don’t go out, these bombs will find you one day. Because they will not stop. They will split Turkey after splitting Syria.

And i’m calling Iran. Listen carefully, the Bosnian youth did not forget Serbians. Syrians will never forget you. Do not bomb Syrians, taking the side of Assad. Come, and be brothers. If you don’t, they will attack Turkey, Syria and everyone. Fear Allah! Russia is trying to build a friendship with Turkey. The first day Putin came to Turkey, bombs rained down to Syria. If you want to raise a power against USA, and you want Turkey with you. So don’t bomb Syria. I’m calling Organization of Islamic Cooperation, why are you keeping these murderers as supervisors/observers and you are not going there as committees? Why don’t you say to them: “What are you doing here?”

We’ll do the same in Aleppo, as we did in Gaza

As we can witness in Aleppo, International Law and Geneva Convention went to the trash, no meaning left of them. It is said in Genova convention: “If a place is under blockade, NGO’s can brake it in order to bring help” It seems that its all lies! We saw this and the ones who call you “civilized” saw also.

Now we’re going to do the same in Aleppo, as we did in Gaza. We will say “Come, Open the Way for Aleppo.” For that, we need to be very high in numbers. We need to have a very long convoy. I’m calling the ones who are listening, join us on the road. Fill the squares in Sakarya, Konya and Hatay to give the world a message.

The Felicity Party (Turkish: Saadet Partisi) and One Minute!

I was there during the massacre, at Gaza. When Saadet Party made a meeting in Turkey, we felt it there. Because when they see the crowd, the world takes action. And we saw the decrease of bombings to Gaza. The act of “One Minute” and Saadet Party’s meeting proved this. Now political parties and and foundations should organize meetings. While we are on the road, you do your part. We also call Hüda-Par(Free Cause Party) to awaken Kurdish streets and let us all stop this oppression.

Bombing in Besiktas

Giving a break to his speech with prayers, Bulent Yildirim went hard on terrorist organization PKK because of the bombing in Besiktas.”Confound the bombers.” prayed Bulent Yildirim. “We know that it is not just the organizations who are behind this. There is Israel, there is USA, there is our so-called allies. “Do you know why they killed those young policeman? This is a reaction to 15th of July. Some say America is behind of 15th of July, even media is scared to talk about it. I put it clearly, the power behind the 15th of July is Israel. The same night, Israel made low-altitude flights above Gaza. What Palestinians heard from Israel’s radiotelephones was this: “You will shoot when Erdogan is down!” If so, why don’t you say that Israel is behind this coup attempt?

100 Thousand People Expected to Migrate

Bulent Yildirim called especially on rich Muslims and said:

“Now pay attention to this list. If there is an agreement, migration of 100 thousand people is expected. Pay attention the the list of urgent needs i’m going to announce. Especially the press:

15 thousand tents and mat. 200 thousand blankets and pillows, 100 thousand sponge beds, 100 thousand winter clothes(coat, hat, boot, scarf, raincoat), 100 thousand hygiene packages and 100 thousand gas stove.

NGO’s Mission is to Tell What Is Lacking

Some say to us, why are you into this? Why are you doing this? NGO’s are groups for pressure/demand. They have something to say to the government or to the society. This is not because of being an enemy. It is friendship/being allies and it’s providing what lacks.

Yildirim also spoke to the participants of the convoy, and told everyone to act like a reporter and raise awareness for Aleppo. After praying for the voyage, Yildirim left it for other speakers.

Head of Ozgur-Der Rıdvan Kaya, Head of Qatar RAF…, Huda-Par(Free Cause Party) leader Zekeriya Yapicioglu and Head of TUGVA(Turkish Youth Association) made short speeches.

The Caravan of Goodness Is On The Roads of Anatolia

After the press statement, convoys first stop is Sakarya. After spending the night in Sakarya, convoy will move to Ankara. And than they will spend one night in Konya, they will go for completing the route at Cilvegozu border gate.
