Speaking on behalf of the DEM Party Youth Assembly, Muhsin Aydoğdu said, "Patriotic youth will follow the path of him and his comrades."

 

Afterwards, the youth marched towards the exit of the district. During the march, slogans such as "Youth is Apo's sacrifice", "Jin, jiyan, azadî azad dike Rebertî (Woman, life, freedom will free Leader)", "Rojbuna te piroz be ey Serok Apo (Happy birthday Leader Apo)" were frequently chanted. Ending the march at the exit of the district, the youth travelled to Curne Rêş in vehicles. It is planned to organise a march after reaching the district.
