تشکر از مقاله و کلیپ ها . من به عنوان یک ترک ایرانی بسیار روشن شدم.

دوستان عزیز توجه کردن به حقوق انسانی تمامی ایرانیها و دفاع از این حقوق می تواند ضامت بقا و آبادی کشورمان باشد. ملیونها انسانی که در کشور خود قادر نیستند به زبان خود تحصیل کنند و شاهد تحقیر فرهنگ و ملیت خود هستند آینده خوبی نخواهد داشت.

آفرین به تمامی هم وطنهایی که برای حقوق برابر ملتهای ایرانی و آزادی مذهب و به طور کلی برای احقاق حقوق انسانی فعالیت می کنند
