Family who sacrificed children to terrorists seeks justice for their pain
The Topkara family was left with a lifetime of pain after a terrorist attack in Istanbul on November 13, 2022, took the lives of six people and injured 99. Among the victims were Mustafa and Gülizar Topkara’s son, Adem Topkara, and his wife, Mukaddes Elfi. The attack left their two young children, Elif İlay and Yağız, orphaned and without parents. The family is now demanding justice and the harshest punishment for the perpetrators.
The attack took place on Istiklal Caddesi, where an explosion shook the area and was followed by screams, sirens, and a deep silence. It took just a few seconds for the Topkara family’s life to be shattered. Since then, they have been left with the heartbreak of losing their loved ones.
The family’s only hope for healing is to see justice served. They want to see the criminals who carried out this heinous act held accountable for their actions. The family lost two young parents and their children lost their mother and father. They are too young to even understand what death means. The pain and suffering that the Topkara family is experiencing are immeasurable.
In a recent update on the case, new developments have emerged, but it’s not clear what they are. The Topkara family continues to wait and hope for justice to be served. The family’s loss has left a void that will never be filled, but seeing those responsible held accountable would bring some measure of closure and healing to their broken hearts.
