ANF - Behdinan

KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council Co-Presidency issued a written statement on the massacre in Suruç and said that tens of revolutionary socialist youth and civilians were massacred during the bomb attack on Amara Cultural Center in Suruç.

Noting that Turkey's AKP government created ISIS in Syria and Turkey, and would undoubtedly account for the massacre, KCK called on all democracy and freedom forces to stand against dirty the AKP's policies.

Commemorating the people who fell during the massacre and promising to honor their memories, the KCK stated that the AKP government created ISIS in Syria and Turkey, and that it was no longer possible to distinguish ISIS members from Turkish intelligence agents. KCK added that AKP’s enmity towards Kurds brought ISIS to Turkey.

‘TURKEY-SYRIA BORDER BECAME A HAVEN FOR ISIS’

KCK stated that the AKP government supported ISIS in order to use it as an instrument of its policies in the Middle East, and aimed to dissolve the revolution in Rojava. As a result of this policy, the border between Turkey and Syria became a haven for ISIS and gangs from all over the world used this border for logistical and mobilization purposes. KCK said that the biggest supporter of ISIS fascism in the Middle East was the AKP government, and the attack in Suruç was carried out under the knowledge of Turkish Intelligence Agency (MIT) in order to target the Rojava Revolution and intimidate those who showed solidarity with the revolution.

‘AKP HAS TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE ATTACKS’

In its statement, the KCK said that the attack in Suruç explained why the AKP was calling upon PKK guerrillas to abandon arms, and showed that the AKP was aiming to release its ‘hounds’ upon Turkey and Kurdistan in order to establish its authoritarian and fascist perspective in the region. The statement noted that the Turkish state was aiming to massacre Kurds with the alliance it made with the enemies of the Kurdish people. Emphasising the proxy-war AKP wages through fascist gangs, the KCK stated that the attacks before and after the elections were a clear indication of the war the AKP was waging against Kurdish people, the Kurdish freedom movement, and Kurds’ allies. The statement emphasised the role of the Turkish state and MIT in the planning of this attack, and said that the AKP had to account for these attacks.

“Upon the liberation of Tal Abyad by YPG/YPJ from ISIS, the AKP reacted as if it had been seized from itself, threatened the Rojava Revolution, and went on to announce that it would intervene if the YPG happened to liberate Jarablus city from ISIS occupation”, KCK said, underlining that all these facts proved the cooperation and deep relations between ISIS and the AKP, that defended this savage organisation the most.

Kurdistan Communities Union remarked that the AKP's consideration of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) as more dangerous than ISIS revealed the level of its animosity towards the Kurds, adding that the massacre in Suruç was perpetrated by the anti-Kurd AKP and its partners.

KCK continued, saying; “It is obvious that responsibility for this massacre is at the door of the Turkish state that unrestrainedly commits massacres based on its animosity towards Kurds. Massacres have been gradually normalised in Turkey under the rule of a mindset and party aiming to suppress the Kurdish people and Kurdish Freedom Movement. This is a truth proved by the attitude and reaction manifested by the AKP government in the face of the attacks before and after the June 7 election.”

The KCK said it was not a coincidence that most of the victims were sympathisers of the Oppressed' Socialist Platform (ESP) who have supported the Rojava Revolution since the very beginning, adding; "This attack has revealed that the AKP is targeting not only the Kurdish people and Kurdish Freedom Movement, but also all socialist circles and friends supporting the Rojava Revolution. The AKP government doesn't want to see any power resisting against it, which is why it has also targeted the support of socialist youths for the reconstruction of Kobanê.”

'LET'S ENHANCE THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE AKP GOVERNMENT'

The KCK stated that the AKP's war against the Kurdish people revealed the fact that it waged, and wanted to wage, this war together with the fascist gangs with whom it had a mental fraternity.

"It is understood that the AKP and its leader, who has an authoritarian mindset and is seeking to achieve domination over Turkey, will from now on be waging war against the democratic forces in Turkey in cooperation with the fascist gangs", KCK said.

Emphasising that Turkish President Erdoğan and AKP wanted to turn Turkey into a country with a dirty war against Kurds and democratic forces, the KCK said all those defending democracy and freedom must immediately stand up against the AKP's dirty policy.

The KCK called on the Kurdish people and democratic forces to enhance the struggle against the AKP government by making an intervention with an urgent democracy programme.
