The real force against the AKP government is on streets

Recent working class resistances in Turkey initiated a pattern change in Turkish politics, which had been shaped by the controversy between the armed forces and Justice and Development Party (AKP) or along ethnic conflicts. For the first time since 2001, the year when AKP came to power, there are significant signs of weakening in the social support base of the reactionary government. This is a critical moment for the future of Turkey and Turkish working class.

The working class cannot be forced to submit by telling tales and spreading fear

Do Justice to TEKEL Workers


When Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is constantly abroad, stops by the country at seldom occasions, he is accustomed to address various crowds ready to applaud every word that comes out his mouth.

The Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) Provincial Chairmen, who got together in Ankara today, is a group that exploit the benefits of political power to the end; a group that would respond every word of the Prime Minister by yelling “Long Live the King!”.

Recent working class resistances in Turkey a slight pattern change in Turkish politics, which had been shaped by a controversy between the armed forces and AKP or along ethnic conflicts. For the first time since 2001, the year AKP came to power, there are significant signs of weakening in the social support base of this reactionary government.

Their cause is the cause of us all!
If TEKEL workers overcome, we will all overcome

We shall teach a good lesson to the Justice and Development Party (AKP). We have to teach the reactionary government that it cannot break the resistance of workers by tear gas and police baton, and make the rights and labor of the workers a present to capitalists.

TIt is time to stand by the tobacco workers of TEKEL.

The cause of TEKEL workers is the cause of all workers.

On the “Kurdish Problem”

Everybody is aware of the fact that the closure of Democratic Society Party (DTP) is a “political” decision. Issues related to the Kurdish problem cannot be considered merely in terms of juridical assessments, especially while the threat of a civil war is on the agenda of our country. The decision to close DTP would set our people against each other as it restricts the right to do politics of Kurds.

On behalf of the Communist Party of Turkey, I wish to thank the Communist Party of Greece for holding this important meeting, and I salute all the delegates of communist and workers’ parties who participate in this meeting.

The Communist Parties that participated in the Meeting of Balkan Communist Parties condemn the new anticommunist attack launched in a number of countries in the EU.

Prologue

Dear comrades,
Before starting, I would like to ask a question. Have any of you comrades, heard about the American soldiers in Turkey? I mean their visit to Izmir last week. Have any of you noticed that in the news?

Turkey’s dark mission in Afghanistan

Turkey’s decision of not sending combating troops to Afghanistan should not over shadow the mission Turkey has undertaken from the first day of the invasion and will undertake in the next bloody phase of the war.
