	“*The contradictory statements made by police officers Mustafa Aras and Günay Yüksel, who were heard as witnesses, during the hearing, the constant messaging of the officers in the HTS records, the continuous messaging of police officer İlyas Boztaş, who was not at the scene and stated to be on transferred duty, from 23.35 to 03.25 on the day of the incident. He should be heard as a witness since it was understood that his messaging with Aras actually involved him in the incident,

	 

	* Public Prosecutor Mustafa Ali Öğütçü was heard as a witness on the grounds that the defendants and the suspects who were given KYOK stated in their Whatsapp correspondence that they said: "We met with the prosecutor, two people should take the blame" and that they declared this prosecutor as Public Prosecutor Mustafa Ali Öğütçü,

	 

	* Notifying the HSYK, as the investigation prosecutor has been found to be guilty of negligence and abuse of duty,

	 

	* Conducting discovery because the alleged plot in the file is contrary to the rules, as claimed by the other party on the night of the incident, and contradicts the evidence,

	 

	* Since it is understood that the applications made to the Constitutional Court and the Ministry of Justice will shed light on this file, the applications are expected to be awaited,

	 

	* The conversation between the accused hitman murderer Mehmet Altun and 112 in the file numbered 2021/385 of the Konya 4th High Criminal Court was brought to the file,

	 

	* Filing a criminal complaint against the relevant law enforcement officers for clarifying the incident as a result of disrupting the crime scene for security reasons upon the law enforcement's confession after the incident,

	 

	* Filing a criminal complaint against administrative and judicial officials who did not take the necessary precautions after the incident,

	 

	* A criminal complaint should be filed against Ahmet Ardıç, who called 112 on the night of the incident and declared in your court that he was at the scene of the incident, for trying to mislead the court in the HTS records and for trying to prevent a fair trial,

	 

	* As it is understood that the persons who called 112 on the night of the incident were the victims Serpil Dedeoğulları and Ahmet Ardıç, and that Ahmet Ardıç give false testimony, we request that the persons who called 112 on the night of the incident be identified and their statements taken as witnesses.``

They will continue their march for rights, law and justice. In our opinion, the 7 people who died are martyrs of democracy. Kurds will not come to heel; They will continue this struggle until they build the law of rights, law, justice and equal citizens."
