Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“While your country is at war, if you are contemplating the secrets of the universe in a boat in the middle of a lake, people will never understand you, because dealing with universal great ideas rather than engaging in primitive and irrational local affairs like wars disturbs especially underdeveloped minds!”

“A defense of the homeland must only be done with civil disobedience, which does not require the death of anyone! If the attacked country uses the methods of the attacking country and responds to violence with violence, it will commit a moral mistake. The red line is simple: Don't kill anyone, even your enemy, and if you can defeat your enemy with non-violent methods, the real victory is there!”

“When war begins somewhere, the attacking party is guilty; but if the war is going on, then both sides are guilty because when it comes to war the only thing that matters is that the killings stop immediately and if surrender is going to stop the killing then it has to be done! It is unacceptable for the present generations to die for the freedom of the next generations because to live is the right of every generation! Surrender is not defeat, you can surrender and continue the war with non-violent methods!”
