İTB President Ozan Ahmetoğlu was the first speaker, elaborating on the political and social dimensions of the İskeçe Turkish Union's 41-year struggle for rights. He recounted significant milestones since the police dismantled the İskeçe Turkish Union sign on December 7, 1983.

Lawyer Ahmet Kara

Next, lawyer Ahmet Kara, one of İTB's legal advisors, detailed the domestic legal processes involved in the İskeçe Turkish Union’s struggle for rights. He highlighted that after years of fighting, the case was brought before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which found in favor of İskeçe Turkish Union, yet Greece did not implement this decision.

Lawyer İlker Çavuşoğlu

Lawyer İlker Çavuşoğlu then spoke about the international law aspects of the İskeçe Turkish Union’s struggle and the ECHR process. He provided insights into the European Council and the ECHR, established after World War II, for the youth present.

The event concluded with a general discussion, where young participants directed questions to the speakers.
