Nobody Can Stay Neutral Towards Fascism!

     The true face of the fascist contra-guerrilla state in Turkey
came into the open once again. In recent days a lot of weapons
were discussed in the Turkish media. Those weapons had been "lost"
earlier by the Turkish security forces. One of the weapons was
found in the Mercedes of MP Sedat Bucakin the accident at Susurluk
last November. Now it was discovered that the weapons obviously
were used by the special, secret, and illegal contra-guerrilla
forces of Turkey. The leaders and progenitors of these "special
operation teams" are the well-known Mehmet Agar, a former police
chief, former minister of justice and minister for internal
affairs; Korkut Eken, a general in the Turkish army; and Ibrahim
Sahin, former police chief of Turkey. It was discovered that under
the leadership of Eken and Sahin, the special forces were trained
in Turkey's Adana region.
     The characteristics of the "lost" weapons are well-suited to
murdering revolutionaries and the people: long distance rifles and
Magnum 300 as well as Baretta pistols, which are hard to detect
even without silencers. The last weapon is well known for being
used in "murders by unknown perpetrators".
     The fascist contra-guerrilla state in Turkey is using every
dirty and cruel method in its war against the revolutionaries and
the people. Whereas open crimes took a back seat in recent months
to methods of economic warfare such as enormous inflation and
price rises by the new government of Mesut Yilmaz - a government
that didn't gain power in legal elections but in negotiations
among the ruling classes of the country - recent developments are
promoting the politics of murder and massacres once again.
     The fascist regime of Turkey cannot extend its life without
open terror. The peaceful road and even the methods of "democracy"
on the official political stage are exhausted. The attacks against
the "Peace Train" [from Europe to Kurdistan] must have opened the
eyes of the last people who still believed that negotiations with
this regime will lead to a result. Agar, Sahin, and Eken, the mass
murderers and perpetrators of unbelievable massacres, weren't even
charged in the Turkish courts. The fascist regime in Turkey shows
openly it's understanding of "democracy". There is no other way
for the imperialists and their collaborators, the ruling
oligarchy, to keep hold of the country but to try to silence the
growing protests of the people with blood and terror.
     This is a time when everybody has to choose a side in this
war. The governments in Europe have already chosen to side with
the Turkish fascist system. Attacks against revolutionaries and
people who support the struggle for an independent, democratic,
and free Turkey are on the agenda in almost every European
country. The latest events in Paris, where more than 150 people
from Turkey were arrested, having committed no crime but to be
revolutionaries or sympathizers with revolution and the liberation
struggle in Turkey, as well as the attacks in Germany against the
socialist newspaper Kurtulus, are only isolated examples in a long
list of terror against the friends of the peoples in Turkey.
Nobody can stay neutral in this war. On September 30th, the event
"One minute of darkness for eternal light" will start once again.
Every evening at 9:00pm Istanbul time, the lights will be turned
off for one minute. After the events in Susurluk, hundreds of
thousands of people participated in that campaign. The campaign
was accompanied by demonstrations by thousands of angry people on
the streets who united under the slogans "Susurluk is the state!"
and "Let's hold them accountable!".
     It is the task of every democrat and progressive human being
to join the side of the people in this fight. It is the duty of
the revolutionaries to lead the protest of the people towards the
demand of calling the guilty to account. It is the duty of the
revolutionaries to unite the people in the struggle for an
independent, democratic, and free country, in the struggle for a
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE PEOPLE.
     These aims will only be reached by realizing the revolution
in Turkey and by establishing the power of the people. We, the
DHKC, are calling on every friend and everyone among the peoples
in Turkey to organize and take part in this revolution.

Susurluk is the state, let's hold them accountable!

For an independent, democratic, and free country: let us establish
the power of the people!

We are right, we will win!
