As TÜRGEV, we thank our President, who took a historic step to protect the unity and solidarity of the nation with 266 NGOs saying "This Voice is Our Voice", and we present our joint public statement, which we have clearly declared our support for, to the attention of you, esteemed members of the press.

THIS VOICE IS OUR VOICE

Recently, it has been noted that a campaign aimed at dividing society, inciting hatred, animosity, and lack of love and trust between men and women has been deliberately escalated by some. While this campaign attempts to create the image that women and children in our country are under an attack more severe than anywhere else in the world, on the other hand, it seeks to spread the perception that our social, political, and religious reflexes to stop this are being destroyed.

There is a noticeable intense effort to accuse politics and society of being complicit in these negativities and hypocrisy, trying to portray our noble religion Islam alongside these evils. It is clear that the ultimate goal of this effort is to disrupt the unity and solidarity of the nation and ultimately support political engineering efforts that will weaken our state and nation.

With his speeches on March 8 and 9, 2018, our President exposed the malicious campaign; he has taken a historic step to protect the dignity of our noble religion Islam and the unity and solidarity of the nation. Under the leadership of our President, our country has made significant progress in the field of freedoms, as in all areas. The developments in addressing the negativities in the lives of women and children and in terms of freedom of conscience are well known to everyone living in this country.

As civil society organizations that aim for the survival of our nation and the proper upbringing of our generations, we invite our opinion leaders, intellectuals, and religious figures to carry out their work with awareness of this malicious campaign for the integrity, safety, and unity of society.

We consider it a duty to thank our President for his statements on this matter and we openly declare that we support his historic statements.

We call on our effective and relevant state institutions, civil society organizations, media, and universities, especially the Presidency of Religious Affairs, to support this vision.

Respectfully announced to the public.
