Turkish teachers against Erdogan’s war on Syria

Eğitim emekçileri her zaman savaşa karşı barışı, ölümü ya da öldürmeyi değil, yaşamı savunmuştur! Sadece yaşamdan ve barıştan yana tarafız! #AfrinSavaşınaHAYIR pic.twitter.com/W5PNL5NT5M

This tweet by the Turkish teachers‘ trade union EĞİTİM SEN says (translated):

Education workers have always defended life and peace, not death or killing. Against war! Only life and peace.

With the hashtag ##AfrinSavaşınaHAYIR=Afrin invasion NO.

In the picture is the slogan Only by peace, with a dove of peace.

This is a very courageous stand by the Turkish teachers, as Turkish dictator Erdogan has threatened cruel repression against pro-peace people.
