Former TRT Anchor Sırrı Er: “We Will Continue to Call for Justice Without Discrimination”

TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: “The Price of Silence is Heavy!”

TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: “The Issue Is Not Who Governs, But How the Country Is Governed”

20th and 21st Kırıkkale MP Kemal Albayrak: “The Candidate of the Rule of Law Must Stand Against Exploitation”
