"As the Turkish Medical Association, we stand by the side of the TC Medical Association and the people of Cyprus. Together we will fight, together we will win," Turkish Medical Association President Ali Ihsan Okten said in a post yesterday, thanking those who applauded him loudly at the end of his speech.
The incident on March 14, during the T/C medical association's event for the Day of Medicine, continues to occupy the T/C press. Today Avrupa is airing the post of the Turkish doctor, who explains that he was referring to the Turkish President's report about doctors leaving Turkey if they leave, let them leave, which he criticized. Then, Okteen adds, the "president" of "tdvk" as he calls Ersin Tatar, wanted to intervene in his speech. His colleagues, he continues, as well as the officials of the T/C medical association to encourage him to continue his speech started to applaud and did so again once he finished his speech.
In his post, the President of the Turkish Medical Association also quotes the headlines of yesterday's T/C press concerning the incident and criticized Ersin Tatar for his attitude and behavior.
Moreover, in a statement, the PKK youth said that the interference in freedom of expression, to which all the doctors at the event in question reacted, showed how right "teacher Ali Ihsan" was, noting the reference in his speech that our problems are the same.
PKK Youth writes that while there are resources for "presidential", luxury vehicles and unnecessary expenses of Ersin Tatar, who tours Turkey every week, there are heroes who are forced to offer their services under inhumane conditions and are not paid their overtime.
To say the least disrespectful, the PKK youth described Mr Tatar's behaviour towards Dr Oken, adding that "it is our common problem (with Turkey) to be governed by authoritarian mindsets that are behind the times and have failed to embody democracy and human rights."
