Sample Behaviour From The Serdar Neighbourhood 11/05/2010
In The Serdar Neighbourhood in Kocaeli, a drug addicted citizen named C.K. has decided to get rid of this situation thanks to the persistent efforts of the Kocaeli Roma Association President Fehmi Acar and the people of the neighbourhood.
On 2 May 2010, upon a group of young people coming from the outside of the neighbourhood in order to find addictive substances asked the Roma youth of the neighbourhood to how to get drug, Roma youth immediately reacted, and after emphasizing that they cannot accept the treatment for drug dealers, they wanted the outsiders to get away from the neighbourhood. Surprised by the determination of the young people, the outsiders left the neighbourhood in a short time.
Getting informed about the issue, the association president Fehmi Acar gathered the residents. Firstly, he celebrated the young people one by one who behaved in the way that suits the Roma people, then he summoned the young man C.K. known as a drug addicted. Acar told him that his behaviours violated the name of all Roma society, moreover he indicated that he should not use drugs in no way and he should never make a connection with the people who benefit from the weaknesses of young people, otherwise they as the residents of the neighbourhood would develop an attitude towards him.
C.K. said that he would take into account the warnings of the residents of the neighbourhood and Fehmi Acar and he would do whatever he can do in order to get rid of drug addiction. Besides, he agreed to be treated for drug addiction in AMATEM. The Roma Association President Fehmi Acar pointed out that they take saving the young people abused by some dodgers as their duty and they are determined until the end of this issue.
Now, C.K. is starting off with a clean slate. We celebrate the residents of Serdar Neighbourhood and the Roma Association President Fehmi Acar for their sample behaviour and invite all our brothers and sisters to fight to remove this black name beside Roma people.
