Memur-Sen President Ali Yalçın participated in the march "Mercy for our martyrs, support for Palestine, curse on Israel," organized by the National Will Platform on the Galata Bridge. Tens of thousands of citizens participated in this historic march, condemning both PKK terrorism and Israeli oppression.
“We will support the Palestinian cause.”
Political figures and 308 non-governmental organizations, including Memur-Sen, participated in the march. Addressing more than 250,000 participants after the march, in response to those who bombed mosques, places of worship, hospitals, and ambulances, targeting children and women, Yalçın said, “Greetings to those who stand alongside Gaza and Palestine with this magnificent and majestic march from Galata, Istanbul. Greetings to our courageous citizens who gathered here on the first day of the new year to uphold human dignity so that the pain of the great disaster we experienced in 2023, the occupation, and genocide in Gaza can be left behind, and may 2024 be the year of hope. In world capitals; people in Toronto, Washington, London, and many other regions around the world are supporting the innocent in Palestine. For this reason, the historical image we present from Istanbul is very important. We will not forget the Palestinian cause and will always support it. We will not leave the innocents in Gaza alone and will continue to stand by them.”
