Long Live International Solidarity with the Struggle of
the People of Turkey !
In the recent week, the world has
witnessed the formation of a wide-spread and massive movement against the
policies of the ruling party “Justice and Development Party – AKP” in Turkey.
Though the media of the “democratic”
countries tried to stop the world-spread of the news about the
development of events in Turkey but the power of the movement and the mass reporting
of the events by the people on the scenes broke the silence of the imperialist
media. The reports showed the brutality
of the repressive forces who rule in Turkey. They also showed the world the
fast growth, the spread, and the demands of the movement.
The recent and unprecedented
movement in Turkey has roots in the economical and political situations in the
country. Despite the deceitful propaganda about the “sharp economic growth” in
Turkey, poverty and unemployment and hunger and inflation are threatening the
lives of the public. It is a public knowledge that 30 percent of the society
lives under the government-set poverty line and that inflation runs more than
11 percent a year. The neo-liberal policies of the “Justice and Development”
Party represented by the Prime Minister Erdogan in
the past 10 years, the privatization of many branches of economy, the
increasing export of financial capital to turkey by the imperialist powers in
order to plunder and to gain new and hi-profitable markets, …
all have put tremendous pressure
on the livelihood of the people. On the other hand, the political dependency of
Turkish power on the imperialists, the NATO membership, the political alliance with the racist
and criminal Israeli regimes, the delivery of
supplies and financial aids and mobilization of the medieval forces
against Syria, the suppression of political freedoms, the imposition of
reactionary laws in the direction of Islamization of the society, attacks on the secular laws,
blowing the horn of revival of Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, …. have turned Turkey into a barrel of gasoline. Demolition of Gizi Park in Istanbul and cutting its trees to build a
shopping mall was the spark to the barrel that caused the explosion of the
anger and hatred of the Turkish people against the political power that defends
the existing conditions.
The Party of Labour of Iran (Toufan) supports
the brave struggle of the workers, Women, youth, nurses, medical doctors,
writers, and intellectuals in Turkey against the government of Erdogan and calls on fraternal Parties and Organizations,
the revolutionary and progressive forces , and the freedom loving individuals
to express solidarity with the people if Turkey.
Long
Live the Solidarity between the People of Iran and Turkey!
Down
with the Imperialist-dependent Ruling Power in Turkey!
