Making a statement before the anniversary of her husband's death, Ayşe Ateş announced that a press conference would be held at the site where Sinan Ateş was killed on Friday, December 29. day.

"THE MOON WAS ASHAMED OF THIS SITUATION"

Ayşe Ateş said, "It has been almost a year. For me, this was the first year of a life without Sinan, and for my children, a life without a father. Time flowed slower than it should have. The night always lasted longer than the day. The moon was ashamed of this situation, the stars were ashamed, the sun was ashamed. Only those who trampled on our pain were not ashamed. In the time that has passed, we have faced our pain, shared our longing, and waited with hope. But our pain has not eased, our longing has not ended, and our hopes have not been realized. Our souls have not seen a cool day, nor have they spent a peaceful moment." she said.

Ateş made the following statements in a post on the social media site X (Twitter):

"Even on the brightest days, the shadow of darkness made the streets narrow for us. My children forgot how to play joyfully with their friends. I forgot how to lay my head on a pillow and sleep in peace. First, a piece of our soul was torn away. Then, our most basic rights were taken from us. There is no laughter for us, no eating or drinking for us, no walking the streets as we please for us. There is no longer that shoulder we can lean on in the evenings. There is no longer any shoulder we can trust other than our state. We are not afraid of any enemy that our eyes can see, our hands can reach, or our ears can hear. We are always ready for a fair fight. But the enemy is in ambush, the enemy is treacherous, the enemy is heartless.

Sinan has been lying where he was shot for exactly one year. Only when justice is served, all the perpetrators are caught and receive the punishment they deserve, will our funeral be able to proceed from where it is, our souls will find a modicum of peace, and our streets will brighten. In this context, I invite Sinan's loved ones and all members of the press to attend the press conference we will hold on December 29, 2023, following Friday prayers, at the place where Sinan walked to God in a treacherous ambush. Stay with justice."

The night always lasted longer than the day. The moon was ashamed of this situation, the stars were ashamed, the sun was ashamed.
