We spoke to the shopkeepers, we spoke to the people living in the explosion sites. We paid our condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. Most of the people living in the area says 'We know where these bombs are coming from. Those who pulled our houses down before are now bombing our town again'.

	 

	 

	Güvenç sharing the information that he learned from the people living in the are that the police started cleaning the explosion site in a very short time after the blast and they collected the rockets, called for the examination of these evidence. Güvenç, stating that they recieved the information that half of the population have migrated, said: "Most of the families migrated to the city center without taking their belongings. This shows that the migration is temporary. It is hard for the people to leave their homes and lands. This is at the same time, a cultural assimilation. Therefore, we call on the people not to migrate."
