France is attacking revolutionaries in order to support
the Turkish fascist contra-guerrilla and Mafia State


The history of the economical and political relations between
imperialist France and the Turkish fascist State is very old. The
military and the economical, political, cultural policies of Turkey
are deeply effected by the relations with the imperialist
countries. France is one of them.  The French understanding of justice
and the law of has been formed according to these imperialist
policies. Even though democracy, justice and human rights are defended
by them when their interests are concerned, these can easily be
forgotten and pushed aside. French imperialist interests depend on
supporting the fascist Turkish State in every way. That's why
they did not hesitate to arrest and sentence the revolutionaries to
imprisonment to prevent the development of the revolutionary forces
who are fighting against the fascist Turkish state.

The trial before the Paris 14th Penal Court was a fake..


1- Dursun Karats, Zerrin Sari and Kemal Kayar were arrested at the
Modena border with false passports in September 10, 1994, and
after the interrogation, no evidence was found to prove any
criminal activities against French law, exept the attempt to cross
the border with false passports. The only 'crime' of Kemal Kayar was
to be with Dursun Karatas and Zerrin Sari.  

2- Since no evidence was found to keep them in prison, they were
been released by the authorities 3-4 month later. The imprisonment
term of travelling with false documents had been spent by Dursun
Karatas, Zerrin Sari and their accomplice Kemal Kayar and they were
released.

3- The French Gouvernment received a reaction from the Turkish fascist
government after the release of our comrades. All this created a
conflict with French law and caused problems in the relations with
Turkey.  

France decided to stage a fake trial and to punish Dursun Karatas
severely in order to calm the Turkish fascist government and to
restore the relations. There was absolutely no evidence to convict
Dursun Karatas, Zerrin Sari and Kemal Kayar. Neither Dursun Karatas 
nor Zerrin Sari has been in France before. Therefore it was absolutely
impossible to charge them with endangering French security and
organised crime.
Since they could not find any evidence against Kemal Kayar, they could
not accuse him of being a member of an illegal organisation.Because
Dursun Karatas and Zerrin Sari used their freedom to flee the country,
the authorities arbitrarily arrested some people, accusing them of
helping Dursun Karatas to escape.For this, they looked for people who
belonged to certain associations or who had problems with the
immigration office.These people who never met Dursun Karatas or Zerrin
Sari in their lives, were put in jail for two years without any proper
evidence  and they were severely punished.
The trial, ordered by the French government, and the sentence of the
14th.Penal Court have nothing to do with bourgeois justice. This
verdict was dictated by the French reactionary government, the
Interior Department and the secret services. Such trials are usually 
only known from fascist courts.  
The French state, supporting the policies of many exploiting, cruel
and torturing countries, is showing its true objectives by
co-operating with the fascist Turkish state. At a time when the true
face of the fascist Mafia-state Turkey became clear to all the people
in Turkey and many people abroad, the French government openly shows
that it supports the Turkish fascist state with its death squads and
its Mafia gangs. 
The Turkish government did not succeed to contain the struggle by our
people for justice, equality and liberation, not even with massacres,
torture and transforming our country into a starving prison. And the
support by the French imperialists for the fascist Turklish state will
not suffice to save fascism. The liberation struggle by our people
will be victorious and fascism, with all its collaborators, will be
condemned by the people.
