Honorable Mayor Imamoglou,

With great concern, we have learned in Greece the extremely worrying news of your arrest, but also over 100 other Turkish citizens, including many journalists.

SYRIZA – MS, as a progressive and democratic force, which supports the righteousness and protection of the rule of law, stands in solidarity with you, your family and the Turkish people, in the face of this new attempt by the Turkish government to achieve its political goals through its political goals, but through its political goals, through its political goals, other prisoners.

So I would like to express, once again, my full solidarity with you, but also my hope that this unacceptable situation will soon end, in a positive and peaceful way, as I remember the lyrics of – beloved in Greece – Turkish poet, Nazim Hikim: Don’t bend! That’s all. ”

With respect,

Socrates
SYRIZA President – MS
