“I have been practicing journalism for almost 40 years. I am a member of the journalists association ethics board. I went to Özgür Gündem to act in solidarity with the journalists. I joined this campaign because I believe in people’s right to information and journalists’ right to report. My understanding of journalism stipulates this. My whole concern was the occupational solidarity.
“Nêzî 40 sal in ez rojnamer im û endamê lijneya etîkê ya cemiyeta rojnamegeran im. Ez ji bo hevgiriya bi rojnamegeran re çûm Ozgur Gundemê. Mafê gel heye ku bi agahî û nûçeyan agahdar be. Ji bo vê yekê ez beşdarê kampanyayê bûm. Ferasta min a rojnamegeriyê wiha ye.”
