I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Türkiye’s esteemed politician Sırrı Süreyya Önder. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and the members of the DEM Party. I pray that the Divine bestows upon him everlasting mercy and brings comfort to all who mourn his loss.
The late Önder, who served as Deputy Speaker of the Turkish Parliament and was a member of the Imrali delegation, exemplified dedication and commitment to the peace process in Türkiye. His contributions, ideas, and unwavering efforts in pursuit of peace, brotherhood, and coexistence left a lasting impression of compassion and humanity that earned widespread respect and admiration. His legacy will be forever cherished in the hearts of all who advocate for peace.
