Honor to the militants of the MCP

June 26, 2005

The “Conference of Communist and Workers’ Parties of the Balkans” condemns the murderous attack of the army of the fascist Turkish regime against the comrades of the Maoist Communist Party of Turkey – N. Kurdistan (MCP) and condemns the fascist regime of Turkey, towards the working masses and the youth of the Balkan countries.

On June 16 the Special Forces and the air force, with a criminal attack of unbelievable monstrosity, cold bloodily murdered 17 militants of the MCP in a mountainous area of Dercim.

Among them a cadre of MCP who actively participated in the first meeting of the Balkan conference of Communist and Workers’ parties and organizations, in Greece on the 23-24 of April.

The Turkish state, once more showing its fascist character, made this massacre a topic on the Turkish media that congratulated on the great “success”, that is the mass annihilation and dismantlement of dozens of citizens, according to the example of the annihilation of entire peoples from the army of the USA and its allies for years now.

This new murderous attack is a part of the imperialists “Anti-terrorist” war. All those who fight against the imperialist policies – organizations, movements and even entire peoples – should be annihilated by every means and beyond all sense of international and internal legitimacy. At the same time they show off their crimes, aiming to terrify the movements, the peoples and whoever is resisting in every corner of the planet.

After the annihilation of the Kurdish people, the white cells and the death of hundreds of militants from hunger strike, under the blessings of the European Union, this mass murder shows with the most definite way the deeply fascist character of the regime of Turkey. The USA and the EU try to cover up and encourage this character by covering its crimes, in expense of the people and the left, while at the same time they brag about the fake “liberalization” of the fascist Turkish regime.

The “Conference of Communist and Workers’ Parties of the Balkans”, at this hard time, expresses its deep sorrow and its complete support towards the comrades of the MCP, towards the friends and relatives of the dead.

The organizations and the parties that participate in the Balkan Conference are expressing their solidarity to the struggling peoples of Turkey and their opposition to imperialist and fascist plans and will do whatever is possible to make this crime known to all the people of the Balkans.

Honor to the militants of the MCP who sacrificed themselves for a world free from oppression and exploitation!
Solidarity to the struggles of the peoples in Turkey and Kurdistan. The struggle goes on!
Down with fascism and imperialism!
