No to new military takeovers

Turkish General Staff made a statement in 27th April 2007. It’s a note in the strict sense of the word.

Turkish General Staff is in the centre of Turkish political life. The statement they made is apparently about the  debates and disagreement concerning presidency elections. But their threats aren’t targeting only Islamic fundamentalism in the country.  

The main goal is to discard perfunctuory progressing democracy and change process and to prevent membership to EU.

It is said that ‘everybody who objects Atatürk’s (founder of Turkey) manner of nationalism is  our enemy and will remain as an enemy.’ This attitude targets Kurds, the other ethnic groups and religious minorities who defend their democratical rights and are willing to perform their religious duties freely.

On the other hand it is aimed to make pressure on the Constitutional Court which will come to a decision regarding the oppositon party’s application in order to annul the election.

For this reason labourers first who are economically effected by the military takeovers all the social powers which demand democracy and change must oppose to Turkish army’s note.

Kurds suffered much from Turkish state’s nationalist policies. All the patriotic and democratic powers of Kurds must unite.

Apparent target of the note is the AKP government. They must spread the religious and conscientous freedom to all beliefs not to themselves only, restart Eu process and provide new opportunities for a permanent change.

USA and EU member countries, international peace an human rights organizations must raise objection against the military note.

That’s the only way to prevent new notes and armies effect on political life.

We, Kurdistan Democratic Party-North (PDK), Socialist Party of Kurdistan (PSK) and Patriotic Democrats’ Party (PWD-K), are calling all the peaceful and democratic organizations and parties to unite their powers. That’s the way to force AKP government to produce solutions about Kurdish problem and recognize Kurdish democratic demands. 

PDK (North), PSK and PWD-K demand USA, EU member countries and international institutions to object Turkish Army’s threats and act in solidarity with Kurdish freedom movement.
