DEM Party Co-Chairs Tuncer Bakırhan said "Despite all the years that have passed, the fact that the real perpetrators have not been fully revealed in all aspects and the continuation of impunity damages the sense of justice and keeps the pain alive," while Tülay Hatimoğulları stated "In the face of hatred directed at Alevis, denial, and the impunity system; we will never give up our pursuit of keeping memory alive, truth, and justice."
