It's getting political...
This Monday, June 17th, we posted a preview of our newest song Garden of Truth on Facebook and YouTube to show our support to the people in Turkey who fight for their democratic rights. Besides a lot of likes we also recieved in part a shitstorm of turkish people supporting the turkish president mainly pointing out that we should mind our own business. Attached you find the official band statement of CipherX concerning our post on Facebook:
CipherX First of all, thank you all for commenting and discussing. We as a band would like to point out that we deeply believe in the human right to express our thoughts freely and without repression. This includes those people who's opinions are different from our own. Thank you for sharing your side of the story with us.
As to our song "Garden of Truth" and the mentioning of us please minding our own business: We, and that includes our brother Cazim Emre Ural who is giving the production of our CD a home and creative support, have friends who were harmed at Gezi Park while expressing their democratic rights WITHOUT throwing stones. They peacefully protested and where attacked without warning first at Gezi Park, later e.g. because they were tending the wounded as medical doctors in that area.
THIS inspired me as a singer to write the lyrics because I believe in the freedom of speech and the way of the official forces to react on these protests is not to be accepted or quietly ignored by the rest of the world. We wanted to give support to our own friends there and give a statement that human rights are everyone's business. We see you and our thoughts are with you!
To all the critics here one wish: If you don't approve the WHY which is your right please at least have a look at the HOW to understand the momentum of the protests and the perspective of the outside world! Nobody is questioning the glory of Turkey as a nation, but we are horrified by the response of your president toward his own people!
By the way, this is also true for the reaction on the protests in Brazil some days ago!
To the mighty of the world - Please stop the violence! It's time to reflect and talk!
