"Are you ready to accept additional hundreds of thousand Kurdish refugees from Turkey?"

Today (8.2.2016) a group has gathered in the Sümerpark area in the city of Diyarbakir in order to protest the German chancellor Mrs. Angela Merkel who is visiting Turkey. The protestors criticized Merkel for her double faced policy on the refugee crisis and particularly the deal of the EU with Turkey.

In their speech the following statement has been done:

The EU has signed a deal with the Turkish government in October 2015 which has the aim to hold millions of refugees in Turkey with different means and actions and not to let them to go to Europe. However, this has the effect that the EU has become dependent from the Turkish government more than ever which has for the people of the Kurdish regions in Turkey grave impacts. Because of this deal the Turkish government has got a free hand in its war against the Kurds which has been started in July 2015 and led to the death of 250 civilians and the destruction of four cities. The EU and the European governments do not criticize any more the human rights violations and crimes of the Turkish state against the Kurdish population. They have even opened new chapters in the EU accession process of Turkey.

Merkel and EU are only interested that refugees do not come in large numbers to Europe. Here at first we would like to state that the policies of the EU and USA have a certain responsibility for the continuation of the wars in Syria, Iraq and other countries. They still do not enough to stop the wars, especially their partner Turkey is supporting IS and other jihadists in Syria. Thus they have the responsibility to take an important part of the refugees.

We further believe that Turkey abuse the refugee issue to make pressure on the West on different subjects (like an intervention into Syria) and to make silence on its brutal war in our regions. And do not forget that through the support of IS and other jihadists in Syria by Turkey (in cooperation with Saudi Arabia) the refugee crisis has been deepened. While these are the realities, how the EU wants to act with Turkey in the sense of peace, democracy and stability?

The most crucial thing is: The refugee deal with the Turkish government allows the Turkish state to suppress the Kurds who are the main actor for democracy in Turkey. The war of the state against the Kurds has started to produce refugees in our region. Already half million people have changed their homes. They are still in our region. But if the war continues more people will be displaced. Then they will go to West-Turkey and probably further to Europe where they have many relatives who fled in the 90’ies when their villages had been destroyed by the Turkish Army.
The dirty deal between Turkey and the EU brings us to a point where we do not ask whether Turkey will meet EU accession criteria. As we understand the EU accession criteria are valid as long as core political-economic interests are not touched.

Finally we want to ask Merkel two questions:

1) Are you aware which results has your policy towards Turkey here in our region?
2) Are you ready to accept hundreds of thousand Kurdish refugees in the EU in the coming months and years?

They painted our red and black flags and banners with blood and flesh of our comrades. Those responsible for the massacre are out there. We know them from Haymarket, Bloody Sunday, Mayday 1977 Istanbul Massacre, Reyhanli, Gezi Uprising, Roboski Massacre, Diyarbakir Dungeons and Suruç. We know them from the daily exploitation of a thousand year. They stand before us merciless, smirking.

Although it has been orchestrated by the hands of ISIS gang, we know that, just like the Suruç Massacre, state and AKP who is holding state power in their hands are those who are in fact responsible for this massacre. We have seen once again that AKP is capable of doing everything not to lose the power and weaker it gets, more brutal it will get.

Below are two further statements from anarchists groups in the Turkish state on the Ankara bombing.

There were no cold barrel behind them, it was not an avalanche that would fall from the mountains. They were running away from the fear of imprisonment, from genderme who has just stopped them, that was not snow that would pour down from the sky, it was bombs of F16s. There were no time to reach a ridge for shelter, F16s were much more faster then them and they sheltered behind the first rocks that they saw…

imageThe Massacre of Kurds in Sirnak: Turkish State Terror in Action Jan 03 by José Antonio Gutiérrez D. 1 comments

This unjustifiable carnage has again exposed the true face of state terrorism in Turkey. This slaughter exposes the hypocrisy of Erdogan, whose regime has its hands soaked in Kurdish blood while he speaks cynically of human rights in other countries. But it also highlights the hypocrisy of an "international community" that is shocked by the repression in Syria, while it assists the silent slaughter of the Kurdish people. The Kurdish people are now mobilized to define their political project of liberation and to resist the four States which occupy them and oppress them (Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq). The slightest sense of decency and humanity should impel us to show solidarity with them. [Castellano] [Français] [العربية]

The Turkish State decided to re-enter a territory that it already partly occupies, with the excuse of “protecting its own territorial integrity” . The heads of the state were not ashamed to talk about peace, nor they were ashamed to name the war that they lead for their own interests, as peace. In the war operation called “Peace Spring” warplanes, especially non-discriminating air strikes were put into operation immediately. All of this has started to take place before the eyes of the states and public opinion allegedly “condemning” the Turkish State.

This Thursday 15/6, the greek “leftist” government is going to receive in Thessaloniki the prime minister of Israel B. Netanyahu for the tripartite meeting among Greece, Israel and Cyprus. During their last such meeting, in November 2015, Alexis Tsipras described the occupied city of Jerusalem as the “historic capital” of Israel, thus legitimizing the atrocities of the Israeli occupation forces. Even though minors are shot by the Israeli occupying forces on a daily basis and they are left to die on the streets of Gaza and the West Bank, while 6,500 political prisoners (including 300 minors) are detained in Israeli prisons without any formal accusations, A. Tsipras is unrolling the red carpet for the Zionist slaughterers.
