Today I will fulfill a request, which I regard as meaningful and important.

I"m leaving my column to a reader, to Seyfettin Ayhan. I hope his words and voice reaches somewhere.

He wrote as follows:

"I will be telling you my sister"s story. I want you to mention this in your article.

Aynur Ayhan is a 6th grade student in the Medical Faculty of Marmara University. She left home on 1 July 2014 saying that she is heading back to Istanbul. In her letter, which arrived 2 days after her departure, she is writing that she had gone to Rojawa. My sister has been a Type 1 diabetic patient since she was 12. In other words, she uses insulin four times a day. On top of that, she has advanced astigmatism and myopia in her eyes. I"m not even mentioning all the tissue and organ damages that appear because of diabetes. She is usually taken to emergency a couple of times in a month.

Until this past week, my sister was someone who looked to the future with hope and spoke of her school. She was talking about how she will help people in the east and southeast after finishing her studies. She was going to buy her sibling, who is also a Type 1 diabetic like herself, an insulin pump when she made money. She even had dreams of becoming an endocrinologist and finding a cure for diabetes.

Since she"s been gone , we have been in shambles as a family. We knocked on every door.

We spoke to BDP and HDP. But, as if they had made an agreement, no one is saying anything. However, we had learned that for years she was involved in these parties" activities. She handed out announcements; she was involved in petitions, wrote letters to people in prisons, and took part in election work. In other words, she had wasted her time, energy and scholarship for this cause. It seems that all this wasn"t enough for someone, and that they wanted her to die.

We had spoken with BDP"s Istanbul provincial head and HDP"s Congressman Pervin Buldan. We had cried and asked for help. Soon, it will be two weeks since she"s been missing, and there is still no news from either of them. With the hopes of finding her in Syria, my mom and dad passed into Syria, taking the risk of passing through a minefield border. They have been in Syria for the past 2 days.

Whomever they approach, they are playing the three monkeys: they heard, spoke or saw nothing. What kind of a mentality is it to send a diabetic patient, who is also in her final year in medical school, to death? What kind of human value is this? What kind of person can claim a right to do this?

Whoever sent her there to die and keeps her there should not be claiming that they are protectors of human values. The lack of a single dose of insulin or not eating something is enough to kill her. In this July heat, insulin spoiled in an hour. Even now, we are worrying for her life, for whether she is alive or dead.

Please mention this in your column; maybe some people will be ashamed.

Maybe they will make us believe that all the human values are not rotten…"

A young Kurdish woman, put her medical studies on hold, and went to Rojawa.

It"s easy to understand why a medical student is sent to Rojawa: for Help. Rojawa is the border region, where heavy conflicts between PYD and ISIS happen and where ISIS carries out bloody massacres. Dead and dying Kurds are relatives and close to the people living there. Rojawa"s affinity towards Turkey with its Kurds is also political. This region is regarded important by the Kurdish political movement and by many Kurds, as much as the resolution process. The departure story of a young doctor candidate is pointing to this.

The family is worrying for the diabetic daughter. Maybe they believe that she was sent or she was demanded to do so.

Then what about the responsibility?

People who disregard the happenings in Rojawa are also responsible, as well as the ones who are seeking a cure for life with life and promoting this…

We hope that this young woman will be returned to suitable medical conditions.

We hope that it will be acknowledged that the solution field for the Kurdish problem is quite wide and is still expanding.
