“World Poetic Festival” in Istanbul condems violence in Syria

We; the poets and writers participating of “The Sixth World Poetic Festival”, held these days from 26 April till 1 May 2011 in Istanbul under the motto “The Spring of the Arab World” to honor the revolutions in the Arab World hereby condemn the massacres committed by the Syrian regime against unarmed civilized people calling peacefully for freedom, dignity, justice, and social justice.

We, as we feel the tragedy of the falling of hundreds of martyrs, wounded and detainees, call upon the Syrian regime that took its decision to use the most brutal and bloody means dealing with the peaceful popular uprising to refrain immediately from these massacres to seek a democratic peaceful national talk and to stop the brutality in oppressing the inclusive public opinion.
