On the occasion of March 18-24 Week of Older Persons, the Pensioners Solidarity Union and Human Rights Association held a joint press conference: “Aging must be accepted as a societal phenomenon and old age as a social phenomenon”.

56.2 percent of the people aged 65 and over say that they are happy, according to the "Elderly Statistics" of the Turkish Statistical Institute for 2021.

In such a special period as this when intergenerational solidarity must grow, the news and social media posts inciting multidimensional violence towards the elderly, in contrast, do not look likely to end.
