Following all our discussions and actions over the last few years, we have come together as anarchists, those of whom are moving together, giving the same responses, sharing the same feelings and passions for the future. By coming together, we are aiming to make a modest contribution to the movement, to nourish and make the fire grow in the ongoing struggle.

We,
Are aware of the fact that organizing is a choice for life; we believe that organizing is equally an individual attitude and a political one.

Society is organization, consequently every movement which is aiming to transform society or aiming to create a new one should start a process of forming an organization that fits in with the social organization being aimed at. Because, what is desired is not changing ‘the society’, it’s changing the organization of society.

We believe that while attempting to spread anarchy into our own lives, this attempt is just a small piece of social revolution.

We believe that liberation cannot be achieved alone; our individual freedom cannot be enough and we should be a part of the liberation of society. We believe that anarchy is not an idea of loneliness; it is an idea of socialization, so protecting their own autonomies, we can move jointly with all anarchist groups and individuals giving similar responses.

We think that a joint movement should not be a formation with a center but one which is coordinated, and that this formation should be a newly-defined, agreed-on federation.

We think that a joint movement should not have an idea to bring all anarchist groups and individuals together; we believe that in different fields it may be possible to have collective actions with anarchist groups and individuals who have different visions.

We know that a borderless, stateless, free world is only possible with a classless society. In this respect, we think that the labor struggle is an indispensable part of revolution and that existing labor struggles should be supported with different methods. On the other hand, we do advocate that the class struggle should not only be carried on against the economic classes created by capitalism, but also against those created by governments and societies.

Against the violence carried out by capitalism, the state and their apparatuses, we see violence simply as a tool for defense and we oppose any attempt to make it a method of the movement.

We believe that anti-militarism is an indispensable part of anarchy, that anarchy is a total objection against the existing system of exploitation / oppression, and that is why the anti-militarist struggle is a part of total objection.

We totally reject gender roles; we believe that those facing repression related to their sexual identities and orientations should carry on their own struggles and that on any point of these activities that we associate with, we should work together.

We believe that saying "we totally reject gender roles" initially starts with changing ourselves.

We think that the greed of government and capitalism lie behind the corruption of the ecological balance which is continuously under attack, and we believe that the ecological struggle is an indispensable part of anarchy and in this struggle we may have joint actions with different individuals and groups.

We think that the struggle against nationalism, against the artificial symbols of nation, flag, border and the controversial concept of race, all of which are imposed on the people imprisoned inside artificially-drawn borders for the consolidation of the government, is an indispensable part of the liberation struggle; the struggle of liberation is the struggle of societies and cultures to determine their own destinies.

We believe that fascism is a crime against humanity and that in the struggle against fascism common attitudes may be assumed.

We believe that, in the history of these lands, anti-government and anti-authoritarian libertarian and egalitarian movements have existed and will also continue to exist in the future. We know that all over the world there are people sharing the same feelings as us, who believe in a world without borders, classes, states and bosses. This fire is growing higher both here and everywhere.
