A great opportunity has been missed.
When I thought of the team that wrote the letter, I began to think I had unnecessary hope.

When we look at this long list, it is seen that there are academicians from Boğaziçi University with the titles of faculty members (professors, associate professors, assistant professors) at all levels, research assistants, assistants, and doctoral students. They have one more thing in common, that they are signatories of the "Academics for Peace Declaration", which reveals what ideological climate prevails in this university. This so-called intellectual advocacy supported a bloody civil war, not peace. Unfortunately, 249 of our security guards were martyred, other 465 were injured, in order to suppress this treacherous attempt. (In the letter they wrote today, they wanted freedom for their political leader, Selo)
Boğaziçi University academicians were at the forefront among those who signed the declaration by revealing their corporate identity. They announced this to the world on January 11, 2016, under the Kurdish title, "We will not be a party to this crime!". (Em e nebin hevparen vi süci!)
In the statement of these so called-intellectuals, they accused Turkey for mass murdering within tons of insults. There was a separatist partisanship that called foreign powers to intervene, you can find whole text on the Internet.

The biggest problem of the Turkish left is that they cannot remove this divisive structures from its political area which all of theirs roots outside. (even the fetö's agenda nowadays). That is why, the another great opportunity of Turkish-left missed, or more clearly seized by the kck-pkk related ambitions and different agendas. Sorry but I started to think that the Turkish left is quite satisfied with the Akp. I cannot find another logical explanation.
