HDP Siirt MP Prof.Kadri Yıldırım held a press conference at the Assembly and stated “The participation of some of our constituents in LGBTI marches creates the perception of acceptance of these activities”.
"Police attacked throughout the day, LGBTIs resisted the attack by “dispersing” around the streets of Beyoğlu, Kadıköy and Şişli. When the committee was not allowed to read out the press statement in Tünel, the text was read in many locations around Taksim."

to see LGBTI+ disperse and read press statement from safe locations.
Istanbul LGBTI+ Pride Week Committee could not complete their press statement in Tünel. However, LGBTI+ "dispersed" and continue to read the press statement at safe locations.
"We are not marching today but we just started marching [forwards]. The sound of our slogans is in our ears, the colors of the rainbow are with us, the scent of freedom is in our noses. We are on this path to demand more than tolerance and permits. We are continually strengthening our resistance everywh...ere to demand that our personal, political, and social rights are guaranteed; that sexual orientation and gender identity are included in the constitution; and that the reality of the LGBTI+ movement as a political participant is recognized.
We are dispersing, we are stronger, bigger, and louder. They are right to be afraid of us because we are uniting, growing, and marching."

We are obeying this call: On Sunday, 26 June we will disperse to every single corner of Istiklal Avenue, we are reuniting with each other on every street and avenue in Beyoğlu. Instead of living a life that is imposed on, a life that normalizes violence, oppression, and de...nial; we are living the life we chose, the life in which we exist with pride and honor and we are “Letting life go back to its ‘normal’ course” by:

"Within Law No: 5442, this request has not been approved due to the terror attacks that have taken place in our country and the area; because provocative acts and events may take place when the sensitivities that have emerged in society are taken into account; and because it may cause a disruption in public order and the people’s- including the participants of the event- tranquility, security, and welfare."
