My first reaction in reading the below article was to think of the
similarities with US policy in Colombia, and also in the Central
American countries.        Unfortunately, US sponsored terrorism by its
proxies is even less examined in Turkey, than in Latin America.

TURKISH VIOLENT POLICY THREATENS NEIGHBOURS AND TURKISH CITIZENS.
IMPERIALISM NEEDS TURKEY´S MILITARY POWER ON ITS WAY TO CASPIAN OIL
AREAS.

TURKISH POLITICAL PRISONERS ARE TORTURED TO DEATH IN ISOLATION A
REVOLUTIONARY SITUATION IS ABOUT TO BE BORN IN TURKEY.

Turkey´s fascist politics has for years formed a military threat
against its neighbours and especially against Kurdish people in Turkey
and in Iraq.

Turkeys´s politics is connected with the new dangerous aim of
escalation based on the American - Israel policy.
However, there is a strong political and even military opposition in the
Near East. Of course, the world imperialist machinery does its utmost to
eliminate these forces.

In autumn 1998 There was a murder attempt against the political leader
of Kurdish liberation movement. Kurdish TV-programs and all information
activities have continuously been disturbed.

The leader of Kurdish freedom movement was Abdullah Ocalan. In November
1998 he was arrested by authorities in Western Europe in Rome. According
to the official sources he was suspected for "crimes".

The new Europol works effectively like Gestapo. There were
demonstrations in Southern Europe in order to get Abdullah Ocalan free.
In February 1999 Ocalan condemned in publicity the countries of Western
Europe because of ignoring mass murders at Kurdish areas. Ocalan was
released in December 1998 because of the pressure by Kurdish people.

Abdullah Ocalan was abducted in February 1999 in Kenya. He was betrayed
by the embassy of Greece. Behind this operation were CIA and Mossad.
Ocalan has got a sentence to death. The political consequences are for
us to see.
PKK and all the Kurds´ front are a dangerous element for imperialism.
In July 1999 another leader of PKK was captured.

Turkish army performs military attacks continuously against Kurdish
people at the border area between Iraq and Turkey.
The fascist government of Turkey does not admit any kind of human right
problems in the country. Turkey denies also the existence of the
Kurds´ ethnic problem. Yet about 30000 people have died in struggles
between Turkish armed forces and the Kurds during the last fifteen
years.

Human rights are worth nothing in Turkey. Kurdish people are not the
only victims.
Turkey is a member of NATO. Turkey and Israel protect oil of world
capitalism in Near East. Both states use extreme violence in order to
suppress democratic movements.

The relations between European Union and Turkey are improving. Turkey
has informed about their intention to apply for membership of EU. There
were held parliamentary elections in April 1999 in Turkey. The elections
do not affect the Turkish fascist politics.

Turkish troops made in April 1999 a strong attack against Kurds in
northern Iraq. Thousands of civil victims. Amnesty International or any
"human right" organizations are not interested at all. These cowardly
crusaders for human rights dare not and do not want to criticize a
NATO-country.
According to realible sources in May 1999 Turkey is planning for a
nuclear weapon of its own.

In August 1999 PKK promised to withdraw its troops from Turkish area in
order to save human lives. This sign of a good will did not affect
Turkish politics.
In the end of November 1999 Abdullah Ocalan´s death sentence was
confirmed. The western countries who arranged his abduction pretend now
to resist this decision.

Very likely Turkey will be sooner or later a member of the EU. Thus
EU´s military power will be added with one fascist NATO-country.

Against all judicial princips the justice systems of Germany and France
have arranged political farce trials and given long prison sentences to
members of the Turkish Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front
(DHKP-C). In January 2000 there were prisoners in hunger strikes in
order to resist the unlegalities. Germany and France represent
imperialism. From imperialism´s point of view it is important to
suppress all political resistance in Turkey. Turkey is in a strategic
position on NATO´s way to the Caucasus oil area.

The bourgeois Amnesty International is not interested in the unlegal
sentences. As a demonstration The Ilhan Yelkuvan Solidarity Committee
occupied the Amnesty International London office for three hours on Jan.
16th, 00.

In April 2000 the Turkish government has answered the peaceful goodwill
expressed by the PKK and all Kurds. The answer was given in form of
cluster bombs. Thus violences will continue.

The internal unrests and violences in Turkey go on . Police has in 2000
accelerated arbitrary arrestings. Arrested demonstrators have been
tortured. The intention of the Turkish fascist government is to
subjugate people and especially to suppress communist activities. For
this purpose they use isolations, which in practice mean death by
torturing. Old prisons have been rebuilt and new prisons have been built
to serve this goal. There are tens of thousands of political prisoners
in Turkey. The amount of prisoners increases progressively.
Police arrests prisoners´ relatives and friends who demonstrate
against political arrestings. Visiting a prison is dangerous alike.

In 2000 there were in Turkey massive 1st May workers´ demonstrations
and marches first time for many years. This time police dared not use
violence. In summer this process continues. Massive demonstrations.
Police forces dare not always get involved. Turkish people have mass
power and resistance for fight.
In 2000 a revolutionary situation is about to be born in Turkey. The
revolutionary activities are led by communist parties and groups,
supported by large masses of people.

People who have succeeded to escape from Turkey to Finland have told
about the horrible and worsening circumstances. People do not tolerate
any more.
