«Δεν κατάλαβα ποτέ γιατί με συνέλαβαν, γιατί με έβαλαν φυλακή. Ούτε ακόμη έχω καταλάβει γιατί με άφησαν να βγω. Δεν μπορώ να αιτιολογήσω αυτές τις πράξεις και γι’ αυτό δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω αν θα με αφήσουν ελεύθερη στο μέλλον ή θα επιχειρήσουν να με συλλάβουν ξανά. Νιώθω να ζω σε μια καφκική ιστορία» είχε πει η Ασλί Ερντογάν στην τηλεφωνική συνομιλία που είχαμε τον Νοέμβριο του 2017.
