“We learned about the closing down of Sarmaşık [Association] from our mukhtar,” says Hanefi Doğan. “We had big difficulties. Now we are fulfilling our needs through debt. What can we say? Words fail us. Not only I am waiting like this, everyone is waiting like this.”
“Hanîfî Dogan wiha dibêje: “Me ji keyayê taxê agahiya girtina Sarmaşikê bihîst. Piştî girtina wir me gelek zehmetî kişand. Em niha di bin deynan de ne. Ka em çi bêjin? Çi jî were gotin vala ye. Ne tenê em, halê her kesî wiha ye.”
