The 14th of July 2012 coincides with the 53rd anniversary of the Kirkuk Massacre of 1959 directed at Iraqi Turkmen. As the Iraqi Turkmen Front Turkey Representation we want to emphasize that we have not forgotten this painful incident, nor will we forget it in the future or allow it to be forgotten.

We believe that all individuals of the Turkmen community will do their duties to prevent the Turkmen from experiencing similar massacres or atrocities in the challenging times ahead..

The Iraqi Turkmen Front Turkey Representation shall hold a recitation of the Mevlid-i Şerif to commemorate all our martyrs who have sacrificed their lives to date for the divine goals. This year the Mevlid-i Şerif shall be held on the 13th of July on Friday at Ankara Maltepe Mosque before the noon prayer (at 12:00 hours). We will be honored to see you among us as representatives of the Turkmen community living in Turkey. We are confident that once again you will give countenance to our cause by joining us in the Mevlid-i Şerif for our martyrs.

Sincerely,
