“I lost one Hasan and gained a thousand Hasans”
Hasan Ocak’s mother, 82-year-old Emine Ocak, who received rough treatment in the attempt to arrest her at the Saturday Mothers’ 700th weekly sit-down, has spoken to Cumhuriyet. Ocak said, “It hurt with the police pulling me in opposite ways, but it grieved me to see my children being beaten up on the ground. While looking around at that moment, I said, ‘I lost one Hasan and gained a thousand Hasans’.” Saying, “I have asked for justice there for years. I have not killed or harmed anybody,” Ocak asks, “Why did they do this to us? Let President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Süleyman Soylu give me the answer to this. On which day did we hurt an ant?” Ocak also says that she will be in Galatasaray again next week. 27 Ağustos 2018 Pzt

Unending oppression, unending resistance
On their 700th week, the police attacked the Saturday Mothers, who sit down in Galatasaray Square every Saturday seeking to learn the fate of their relatives who vanished while in custody. The police, wishing to break up the protest under a last-moment order by Beyoğlu Sub-Provincial Governate, beat up those who had arrived to support the Saturday Mothers and the relatives of the missing and dragged them along the ground. The police waded in against the resisters with plastic bullets and tear gas. Dozens of people, including relatives of the missing Maside Ocak and Besna Tosun and our paper’s anaging Editor Faruk Eren were handcuffed from behind and arrested. The police also sprayed the side roads and arcades off İstiklal Street with tear gas. Some of the arrested were released in the evening.

HDP’s Baluken speaks of failure to communicate peace to society
An important figure in the solution process, İdris Baluken replied from prison to Cumhuriyet’s questions. Saying they had attached excessive meaning to support in the region of 70-80% for the peace process in polls, Baluken said they had been wanting when it came to strengthening social support for the demand for peace. Baluken stressed that the result the HDP obtained on 24 June has shown that fear cannot devour hope. Noting that he was not at odds with his party but a historic responsibility was incumbent on the HDP, Baluken said with reference to the local elections that, rather than winning municipalities, winning democracy must be set as the goal. 26 Ağustos 2018 Paz
