Bunu gördüğüm an baktım ki bir keşmekeş yaşanıyor. Kimi Türk ırkçılığının kimi Kürt ırkçılığının peşine düşmüş. Yalpalayıp duruyor. Hangi rüzgar onları nereye götürürse oraya gitmeye çalışıyorlar. Ben yerimi seçmek zorundayım. Seçme zorunluluğum olmamasına rağmen. Ya Türk olacaktım ya da Kürt... Halbuki ben dünyaya gelmeden önce anneme babama mektup yazmadım. Faks çekmedim. Telefon etmedim. Telgrafla bildirmedim. Alevi, Sünni, Türk, Kürt olarak dünyaya geleyim diye. Ben çırılçıplak bir insan olarak dünyaya gelmiştim. Sonradan bana bir takım elbiseler giydirmeye çalıştılar. Alevi, Sünni, Türk, Kürt, Laz, Çerkez... Ben bütün bu elbiseleri yırttım. İnsanlık elbisesi giydim. İnsanlık elbisesinin yanına Türkmen olduğumdan dolayı Türk elbisesi giyindim. Aslımı inkâr edemezdim."
