New terror of Turkish military regime

[Bandito]

Turkish army is on another mission of slaughter in Kurdistan. After the changes in the military top, Turkish regime adopted a new strategy of fighting against Kurdish people and its movement. Economic crisis and imperialist war against people of the world allowed all regimes of the Imperialist Internationalle to wage wars of limited character in order to solve their internal issues without condemnation of the worldwide community.

“Chemical” Nejet Ozel is the new commander of the turkish army, who “earned” his nickname after just a couple of days of military operations, which fits the nature of this filthy war just right. It's obvious that the main goal of Turkish army is not only retaliation and attempt of destrucion of PKK as the representative political and military force of Kurdish people, but also to control the mass uprising of the Kurdish people who demand their rights of self-determination and national rights. In the same time, it is the beginning of the new sense of Turkish militarization, which serves not only surpression of national movements, but also regional imperialist interests of the Turkish regime – which are directly connected to the interests of western imperialists in the region(situation in Syria, relationship between western imperialism and Iran etc...)

The new stragegy of the turkish army consists of use of chemical weapons and attacking the villages, which forces the peasants into leaving their homes and cuts the link between people and kurdish military movement. Military actions in Southern Kurdistan are performed with backing of US army, helped by the puppet regime in Iraq and with collaboration of Iranian army. The numbers of dead civillians and kudish fighters are growing every day.

But, this war only strenghtens the Kurdish people, and words of solidarity come from all over Turkey, Europe and other parts of the world. The youth of Southern Kurdistan is forming live shields in order to stop the attacks of the Turkish army, and plans for the marches up the mountains where the battles are fought are in preparation. Although Turkish police and army are trying to prevent the rise of peace movements in Kurdistan, “Mothers for Peace” will join the youth and form live shields all over borders with Iraq. Political importance of having peace movements in this moment is crucial, since Turkish regime can use the situation and commit even greater actrocities against Kurdish people.

white phosphorus is fucking bad but if i remember well they found a loophole to get around this accusation by claiming that it was used for flares or something like that.

but this shit seem fucking more deadlier than white phosphorus.

Only when US-backed press agencies are reporting from the scene.

On September 2, the Turkish bourgeois state announced that it has suspended the military relations with Israel due to the fact that the UN report advices no sanctions to Israel because of the massacre that it has committed against the Blue Marmara Ship for solidarity with the Gaza people. The Turkish state announced a 5-point-list of sanctions, not including any suspense of commercial relations on the one hand, but on the other hand, it took a decision in the meantime to permit the deployment of a missile defence shield system of the NATO in Northern Kurdistan. The main aim of this deployment is to protect Israel from a possible offence from Iran, especially in case of a military intervention to Syria!
It has been alleged that the local command-centre of the system will be established in the 2nd Tactical Air Commandership in Diyarbakir (Amed) and the deployment process will be concluded before the end of the year. The system will be controlled by a central in Germany.
This missile defence system was one of the main agendas of the negotiations between the Turkish state and the US imperialism to liquidate the PKK* (http://36ohk6dgmcd1n.yom.mail.yahoo.net/om/api/1.0/openmail.app.invoke/36ohk6dgmcd1n/5/1.0.35/us/en-US/view.html#13253ab19fb92e79_40) .
On September 9, the Defence Ministry of Israel stated that the Turkish state has not suspended the military relations and the military ambassador of Israel is still working in Turkey.
Moreover, Erdogan, on a statement on September 8, repeated the demand that the Unmanned Air Vehicles (Israel-made Herons) which have been sent to Israel for repair should be sent back. Erdogan expressed that the killings by Israel are human rights violations and there has been a use of unproportional force and right after this he said: "Moreover, there was a date fixed for the repair of the Unmanned Air Vehicles but the planes have not been returned until now. According to the last report, we have 6 planes there, and they have to give back the planes that we have paid the money for". Erdoğan related this issue with "commercial ethics".
These facts show once more that Erdogan and the AKP* (http://36ohk6dgmcd1n.yom.mail.yahoo.net/om/api/1.0/openmail.app.invoke/36ohk6dgmcd1n/5/1.0.35/us/en-US/view.html#13253ab19fb92e79_27) government stands on the side of the US imperialism and Israel Zionism on regional politics and it will never possible to stand against Israel, first because of being a capitalist country dependent on imperialism and secondly because of the colonialist dirty war continuing against the Kurdish national movement. Especially the Arab peoples should now that the relations of the Turkish bourgeois state with Israel is very deep and also rooted in military and political cooperation in the liquidation of the struggles in Palestine and Kurdistan and the common military activities of Turkey and Israel will not even come to discussion without the democratic solution of the Kurdish question.

NATO is an organisation filled with war criminals on a scale the world has very rarely seen. Even Genghis Khan didn't kill in such a cold-blooded way.

[scarletghoul]

Thanks for this info comrade. Do you have any links to websites for more info and so that i can share them with others

[ComradeOmar]

They always scream about shit that only matters to them. No one ever hears the voices of khurds, checneyans, palestinians or all the other "terrorists".:cursing:

[Sinister Cultural Marxist]

Is there any actual documentary evidence of the use of chemical weapons? The picture in the original post of the dead person embracing the dead baby is from the Halabja gassing (http://www.kdp.se/old/chemical.html) of the Kurds in the 80s not a current event, for which an Iraqi general was called "Chemical Ali". Of course everyone knows the Turkish state commits war crimes against the Kurdish people that's not a question but if we're talking about serious allegations like a gas attack its nice to have some evidence and not just 25 year old photos of a similar incident. Which particular gasses were used? How many casualties were there? Which villages were struck?

I've heard Turkish communists on the forum saying that while the PKK cause for Kurdish separation is more than justified by actions from the Turkish state, that the PKK themselves have partaken in reactionary or anti-working class violence.

Interestingly, Avidgor Lieberman threatened to support the PKK in retaliation for Turkey's current diplomatic spat with their country. It seems, however, that like Turkey, the pKK wants an apology first, and Israel doesn't actually seem to be aware of the concept of an "apology"

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/after-turkey-pkk-now-also-demanding-apology-from-israel-1.384197


The leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party has demanded that Israel apologize for its part in the capture of the PKK’s imprisoned leader Abdullah Öcalan in 1999 after a report that Israel was planning to use the PKK against Turkey, the Turkish newspaper Today’s Zaman reported on Monday.
Israeli-Turkish ties have deteriorated significantly in recent weeks, culminating with the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador to Turkey after Israel refused to apologize for its deadly Gaza flotilla raid in which nine Turkish citizens were killed.

According to a report in Yedioth Ahronoth, Lieberman assembled a team in charge of retaliating against Turkey. The team reportedly recommended to Lieberman that Israel should cooperate with the terrorist organization PKK and even consider supplying it with weapons.
Another suggestion was to offer assistance to the Armenians and file UN reports against Turkey for violating human rights of Turkey's minorities.
PKK leader Murat Karayılan told the pro-PKK Firat news agency on Monday that his group is a “principled organization” and that it is not a movement that “could be used against any state”, the Turkish newspaper reported.

The PKK leader said that if Israel wishes to solidify relations with the group, they will first need to apologize to the Kurdish people and the PKK for its part in an international effort that led to the capture of the PKK’s leader.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization in many countries, including in the United States, Israel’s ally.White Phosphorous was used as a weapon by the USA and Israel and their pretext that they were using it as flares is a load of horsecrap. Use of it should have brought war crimes trials to the military officials of the US and Israel. It is the case that it isn't really that effective as a chemical weapon compared to, say, mustard gas or a nerve agent since it would take an absurd amount of smoke to kill a person. But if it gets on a person it will stick to them and keep burning, severely injuring or killing them and it of course is totally indiscriminate. It is actually banned in populated areas and so is a war crime whether we classify it as a "chemical weapon" or not and US forces aren't even allowed to use it near civilians according to their own rules of engagement (which either commanders on the ground, up top, or both, ignore as they see fit)

(4) Burster Type White phosphorus (WP M110A2) rounds burn with intense heat and emit dense white smoke. They may be used as the initial rounds in the smokescreen to rapidly create smoke or against material targets, such as Class V sites or logistic sites. It is against the law of land warfare to employ WP against personnel targets.

That's what I was gonna reply to Zenga Zenga.

And, SCM, I put those photos myself and you are right, they are not recent. The thing is, there is virtually zero media coverage of these actrocities, so we have to rely on mlkp.info and other revolutionary organizations in the region that have a history of speaking the truth of what's happening there.

Also, about the PKK.

MLKP was on the election list alongside with PKK, but (duh) did not support every bit of their politics nor their tactics. They had independent candidates in several cities, but did not want to break the 'Kurdish' front, especially being the only Turkish party that supports the right of Kurdistani people for self - determination. It was clear in the time of elections that the Turkish state has only one option in mind - war.

[Leo]

The Turkish government was preparing to launch yet another imperialist land invasion of Iraqi Kurdistan but the future of that is a bit uncertain now following the leaking of a tape of negotiations between three leading members of the PKK, one of the leading officers of MIT (Turkish Intelligence Agency) and the then Undersecretary of Prime Minister Erdogan who is today the Secretary of MIT, which is of course the highest position in the organization.

There has been a series of air strikes though which killed well over a hundred civilians as well as PKK guerrillas. There has been some attacks from the PKK targeting the Turkish Army as well.


MLKP was on the election list alongside with PKKNo they weren't, they left the Kurdish electoral bloc when the legal party close to the PKK didn't give them any candidacies.

Of course by they here I mean their legal party, not MLKP itself. After the proclamation of their legal front organization as a party, the MLKP doesn't really have much activities as the MLKP anymore. The process is likened to the TDKP - EMEP transition of the past.

I tend to believe that this only appears to be like that, since number of their cadres are imprisoned at this moment. Even when some are on probation, it is dangerous to connect them to the illegal party immediately, so they too stick with the legal organizations.

[Devrim]

And, SCM, I put those photos myself and you are right, they are not recent.

They are not recent, and they are from a different country. I don't think that you were ill intentioned, but it is a pretty shocking thing to do.

[Leo]

It actually happened after their cadres were released from prison. When they were imprisoned, they went into a general period of lack of activity. Then, they came out and soon declared the legal party.

Again, the process for TDKP-EMEP was similar.


Even when some are on probation, it is dangerous to connect them to the illegal party immediately, so they too stick with the legal organizations.

Yes, this is why most illegal parties use front organizations. There are organizations still like that. The people you are talking about aren't like that. Sometimes the front organization/party consumes the illegal party.

Workers, labourers, women, youth, all the oppressed;

The colonialist fascist regime has been applying a new massive massacre and annihilation concept. Undoubtedly it is again the US imperialists behind the attack, as always. Iran has joined this new offence concept, too. This concept carries an international character as well as being an expression of the moves of intervention to the changing correlation of powers in the region by the reactionary regional states and at first place the United States. The offence concept of the years 1992-1993 is being continued by the AKP government through new means and methods and on a new level as a regional total war offence.
Starting from August 17, the Turkish warplanes have been bombing every day the guerrilla zones and the civilian populated areas and guerrilla's graveyards for their martyrs in these areas with a real ignominiousness and feelings of revenge and trying to prepare the conditions for a ground attack.
The Kurdish geography is being destroyed and the forests are being burnt down by bombs of thousands of tons thrown by hundreds of warplanes. Among the goals of the offence concept is organising reaction among the Kurds from Southern Kurdistan by saying that all these happen because of the PKK . As a result, a fact that shows this is that the Red Cross proposed the villagers in the Medya Defence Zones to leave their places and "live in the concentration camps".
The new offence concept of AKP, just as the previous ones, is constructed on "terror and security". The return of Erdogan to the traditional denial speech saying "There is no Kurdish question, there is a terror question; a PKK question" shows that he is becoming a Ciller-like one. Yes, as far as the AKP gains more initiative on political power, AKP and the state becomes the same. Together with the elections, the Kurdish national liberation movement and the Kurdish people have increased their political power; they have developed the solution through their own struggle and will; they made moves like the announcement of democratic autonomy etc. AKP and the regime have responded this with a new wave of attacks. It seems that the colonialist fascist regime and the AKP government cannot tolerate the Kurdish national democratic achievements and the democratic autonomy as a level of these achievements.

Turkish people;

There is nothing to win for you from the new total war by the AKP and the colonialist fascist regime against the brother Kurdish people and the Kurdish national democratic forces. Erdogan and the generals who say "There is no Kurdish question, there is terror question" are lying. Despite that the PKK has been announcing unilateral ceasefires for many years and that the Kurdish people always raise the flag of peace, the only response of the government and the generals to this was continuous operations and broad and massive arrest and imprisonments. And this is a pogrom and liquidation attack which continues to happen. You must know that Kurdistan, Kurdish nation, PKK etc. are the realities of this region. You can nowhere by denying these facts.
The bloody-handed murderer Prime Minister Erdogan who supposedly condemns the violence by the state forces in Libya and Syria deems any kind of attack and massacre proper when it comes to the Kurds. This is how democrat and Muslim are Erdogan and the AKP. The attacks on the guerrilla zones and the killing of 7 civilians from one family, with one baby and 4 children, are expressions of this. The last offence concept includes ground attack, occupation of the guerrilla zones and the possibility of a new chemical massacre. The fact that the AKP puts the Sri Lanka example and a ground attack into discussion through the media and thus tries to create social legitimacy to mass massacres and genocide is an expression of insistence on this murderous policy and dirty war. You have nothing and can never have anything to win as the Turkish people by this murderous denial policy, the dirty war that is being carried out insistently and so much destruction caused of it for many years and the massacre of the Kurdish people.
When will you hold the hand given you by the Kurdish people for peace and brotherhood, if not right now? When will you be the address for the solution of the Kurdish question? Is it not clear that your silence and even approval of the denial does not fit any brotherhood and equal relations?

Kurdish people;

MLCP salutes the resistance that you raise and increase against the attacks of the AKP government which means the announcement of a new war against the guerrilla as well as you. The AKP government backed by the US imperialism has started a new war instead of taking steps to solve the problem. You see very clearly that the guerrilla and the Medya Defence Zones which is targeted and tried to be terminated by cross-border attacks, ground attacks and occupations is your own will and future. The fact that you rounded the guerrilla zones with barricades made of human is an expression of this. It is you who knows the best that the colonialist fascist enemy is locked on creating a break in the guerrilla zones and ventures any kind of ignominy and attack for this aim. The human shields organised by the Peace Mothers and those of the patriotic youth in Southern Kurdistan that continues in three groups with great determination and the mass rallies for peace organised by DTK from 16 cities towards the borders do not only show that the danger is so vital, but also express your strength of purpose, your insistence and political awareness as a nation who have sacrificed so much from itself. Yes, the guerrilla yet continues to be the insurance of all the national democratic achievements of the Kurdish people. Guerrilla is the name of resistance, insurrection and honour; it is a great achievement for all of us and for all the oppressed.

Revolutionary and progressive people, comrades;

The new concept of war of the AKP government does not only target the Kurdish people, the guerrilla forces and the PKK but also all the democratic and revolutionary forces in Turkey and in the region, the Turkish people and the peoples of the region. All the social dynamics are the targets of the new pogrom and the annihilation attacks. The offence is on all of us. It is our future being bombed. It is our revolutionary will they are trying to break and make yield.
Let's increase the total resistance against the concept of total colonialist war and destroy the plans of the colonialist fascist dictatorship, AKP and their master USA! Let's join the human shields of the Peace Mothers to defend the guerrilla and Medya Defence Zones through barricades made of human bodies!
Let's turn the borders into squares of action and resistance and stop the ground attack for which they are getting prepared at full speed! Let's raise the Kurdish national freedom against the colonialist yoke and the colonialist dirty war on the World Peace Day September 1st through broad and effective actions, demonstrations and resistances! Let's respond the new arrest and imprisonments with strong resistances in streets! Let's turn Turkey into the second front of war to not let those insisting on dirty war take a breath in the West! Let's burn the streets for the national freedom of the Kurdish people as well as our own future and freedom!

Down with the colonialist fascist dictatorship! Peace, equality, brotherhood and freedom for the Kurdish nation!
