İSTANBUL - 130 intellectuals, politicians, artists, journalists and citizens from the Black Sea opposed the racist attacks against the Kurds and expressed that what happened was due to the securityist-confrontational politics that have been carried out for years in the Kurdish issue.
 
A statement was published condemning the racist attack against Kurdish workers in Sakarya, with the signatories of many Black Sea intellectuals, politicians, artists, journalists and citizens from various circles.
 
The statement underlined that these attacks are not simple acts of violence and said: "As a result of the deep economic inequality and injustice in our country, it is obvious that these attacks against Kurdish workers who come to the Black Sea every year during tea and hazelnut harvesting seasons are not a simple act of violence."
 
Reminding the poor working conditions of seasonal Kurdish workers in the statement, "This audacity punching Kurdish women in Sakarya get that encouragement from the government that allows attacks against women everywhere and the protecting of the men who carry out these attacks. The impunity causes a great wound in the conscience of the people. We have always been there for the Kurdish agricultural workers, we will continue to stand by them."
