'WE HAVE NO CHOICE'
 
Mentioning the increase in the refugee murders, Association for Solidarity with Refugees Chair Muhammed Salih said the reason for these murders is the hate speech and xenophobia in Turkey.

We have no choice. The governments should recognize the rights of the refugees." Stating that these problems remain unsolved for the last 9 years, Salih said: "We came here 9 years ago. We are no longer guests" and demanded steps to be taken in terms of education, health, accomodatiın and work.
