"I wish it to be the greatest rally which we have held in recent
history. As the four organizations here, we are here only as the
convener organizations. But I wish for our entire people, everybody
who is in favor of democracy, human rights and freedoms; who is
against coups; and who wants a civilian and democratic Turkey, to
be
at the rally," Mahmut Arslan, the president of the Confederation of
Righteous Trade Unions (Hak-Is), said at a joint press conference
on
Aug. 23 along with the chairs of the Confederation of Public
Servants
Trade Unions (Memur-Sen), the Association for Human Rights and
Solidarity for Oppressed People (Mazlum-Der) and the Anatolia Youth
Association.
The conference was apparently aimed at forming a strong anti-coup
alliance through a rally called "Resistance for Egypt, Revival for
Humanity Rally," which was set to be held at Sihhiye Square of
An
at 4 p.m. on [1300 GMT] Aug. 24.
"We have an additional responsibility as a Muslim; we have ummah
responsibility," Memur-Sen's Chair Ahmet Gundogdu said, noting that
the countries which are accepted as the cradle of democracy have
failed the test over Egypt.
The participants of the rally will also denounce tyrants, as they
pray for the oppressed, Gundogdu said.
