Father of July 15 martyr: 'My son was martyred, but the homeland was saved'
Hüseyin Kiremitçi, father of Special Operations Police Officer Muhsin Kiremitçi who was martyred in the treacherous July 15 coup attempt, said their pain has remained fresh for 10 years. The martyr's wife, Seda Kiremitçi, who was 8 months pregnant, gave birth to their daughter Gökçe one month after the incident.
Special Operations Police Officer Muhsin Kiremitçi from Konya was resting at home on the night of FETÖ's treacherous coup attempt on July 15, 2016, when he rushed to duty upon hearing of the uprising. On his first day as a deputy commissioner at the Special Operations Department in Gölbaşı, Ankara, he was martyred in a bomb attack by the traitors.
Speaking to SABAH on the 10th anniversary of the coup attempt, the martyr's father, retired imam Hüseyin Kiremitçi (65), said that their pain is as fresh as if only 10 minutes, not 10 years, have passed.
He had returned home at the end of his shift that day. As soon as he heard the news of the coup in the evening, he got ready immediately. Since the Special Operations Headquarters in Gölbaşı was close to his home, he jumped from the balcony and ran to his post. But he was martyred in the bomb thrown by the traitors. Both my son and the other heroes turned the traitors' plans against them. The traitors could not achieve their goals. My Muhsin was martyred, but we did not leave our homeland to those traitors. 86 million people embraced my son.
Hüseyin Kiremitçi, a father of five, explained that when his son said he wanted to become a special operations police officer, he initially objected out of fear that he would be martyred, but he gave his permission after his son said, 'Father, you taught us about fate.'
Emphasizing that he will not forgive the FETÖ traitors, father Kiremitçi said:
Mothers and fathers were left without children, children without fathers. I will not make peace with those who inflicted such pain on this nation. In both worlds, my hands will be at their collars. They shot bullets at innocent people and threw bombs at them. My Muhsin wanted to advance in his profession and serve his country and nation more. May God never give these traitors such an opportunity again.
Gökçe wants to become a police officer like her father
Hüseyin Kiremitçi stated that his granddaughter Gökçe was born one month after his son was martyred, and that she often asks about her father. He recounted that when Gökçe says, 'Doesn't my father have a phone? Call him so he can come,' they tell her that her father is a hero.
Kiremitçi added that Gökçe, now 10 years old, answers those who ask about her father by saying, 'My father is a hero,' and that his granddaughter wants to follow in her father's footsteps and aims to become a police officer.
