ŞIRNEX - Kerime Külter has waited for Hurşit for 47 days with her blue dress. There are same hope in everyone's heart and mind: "We hope you change your dress soon…"

Mother of Hurşit Külter whose whereabouts remains unknown since he was detained 47 days ago by state forces, Kerime Külter, hasn't changed her blue dress. When we ask her why she doesn't change her dress, she replied: "When I heard my son disappeared, I wore this dress. I won't wear another dress until I find him." Kerime is waiting for the day she see her son again. Her strong stance empowers all Şırnak people. Like Hayriye Hüdaverdi, who hadn't left the resisters alone and gave her life in order to restore Deniz and Andok life during curfew imposed in Silvan. And like 55-year-old Fatma Ateş, who empowered the resistance and resisters with her existence in Diyarbakır's Sur district. Kerime becomes the power of Şırnak people with her blue dress. She is waiting for Hurşit with her blue dress and white cheesecloth (Kurdish mothers' peace symbol.)

Kerime tells everyone that, "I won't change my dress until I find my Hurşit." There are same hope in everyone's heart and mind: "We hope you change your dress soon…" We also hope you change your dress soon mother Kerime…
