Goran, I am very happy to hear about the children and the charges being dropped. This was a wise decision by the Turkish court. I hope the choir master will be relieved as well, now that the kids are not going to be charged any more:) I have the words to the song

Thank you. The charges against three of the children have been dropped. Thanks to everyone for helping spread the news about this case.

One thing I would like to mention is that there are still pending charges against the choir master. The issue is not entirely at rest quite yet.

Hi Goran, so tomorrow will be the trial session. Plz keep us updated. I hope every thing will work for the children. Turkey has some great expectations from EU and in order to meet the demands, she will definitely try to be more responding to the demands of its Kurds. Take care Goran. Me keeps praying here my dear

Hi Elinor, the children will stand trial on June 19. If convicted of the charges being brought against them, they will be imprisoned.

Esra’a, agreed. Unfortunately, Turkey and it’s allies have been very successful in the past as much as they are now in preventing such incidents from gaining any media coverage, and thus, preventing any public attention.

This is just one more prove how much of a democratic country Turkey is.
It proclaims it self as democratic which it might be BUT just for its Turkish citizens. If you are not Turkish you have no right to live in Turkey at all, and yet they expect from other countries to show respect to their Turkish immigrants and give them full rights, such as Erdogan did in Germany.
How much father can Turkey go to deny it Kurdish minority.
One they it will bite Turkey very bad and will wounded that it will not have the power to get up any more
