Former TRT News Anchor Sırrı Er: “Societies that do not demand justice eventually lose their faith in the future”

Former TRT Announcer Sırrı Er: “The Silent Cry of Justice and Law”
When those who should speak hesitate, the responsibility falls on the rest of us. Stay silent. Leave those who fight injustice on their own.

TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: “The Price of Silence is Heavy!”
I do not understand those who act as if lawlessness is being experienced for the first time.

TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: “The Issue Is Not Who Governs, But How the Country Is Governed”
There is a saying among the people: “to poke a finger in a blind eye.” In essence, this expression perfectly describes what we have been experiencing. For years, we have been watching the same cycle.
