The Gezi Resistance is 12 Years Old — HBDH

The Gezi was the name of the days when the workers and the oppressed in Taksim Commune created solidarity, sharing and collective life.

The trip was the name of the days when the fascist state and the enemies of the people were defeated with the struggle of the peoples.

The Gezi was the name of the days when man was the name of his own life, nature, future and shouting that he would continue to come out.

The trip was a rebellion, rebellion that we saw that women, young people and all peoples had the daring and ability to build future days. And it was a great uprising; When we stand up, we experience how the ruling holders will escape…

For the sake of happy, beautiful days; For the sake of the revolution, those who have been fighting for decades and the oppressed were waiting for us in Gezi. Taksim Square and its surroundings, dozens of cities were liberated by the peoples. Street conflicts in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Adana, Antakya and many cities lasted for days. The biggest mass movement, the greatest rebellion and the uprising in the history of our countries was the Gezi.

Gezi was rebellion against the laborer, poverty, poverty imposing poverty. Corruption, corruption and rebellion against decay. A huge flag of freedom against humiliation, marginalization and ignoring. The trip left us a great revolutionary legacy despite the years. Millions of shouting in Gezi, “This is the beginning,” they have been fighting for years.

Everywhere in our countries was in motion. He struggled in every matter that concerns his life and future. In the uprising that started on March 19, the youth fought to conquer Taksim again. The peoples flowed to the streets to end the work they started in Gezi. They flowed against the deepening misery, the exploitation of human beings, the desolation, and the humiliation of human dignity. Women conquered the squares against the massacre of women, harassment, rape and male -dominated system. Young people who did not want to live in a world without a future, tried to attack against unemployment, helplessness and despair.

All the oppressed peoples, the Kurdish people, the working Alevis, the oppressed national communities have taken action for their liberation, for their salvation, for a better world, for a happy and dignified future, and is still in struggle. They rebelled to conclude the struggle they started in Gezi. The conditions of life of the peoples of Türkiye and Kurdistan have become increasingly heavy since Gezi. Hunger, misery, unemployment, decay in all areas of social life, fascist pressure and terror are increasingly intensified.

Despite thousands of prisoners, operations, arrests and police attacks, despite the intense anti-communist, enemy of popular propaganda and manipulations of religious-fascist power and monopolistic capital, the struggle of the working peoples, despite numerous provocation, became widespread, became widespread. The working masses flowed into the streets at every excuse. At every opportunity, they dare the Gezi. They showed that the fight of freedom was not over. In the past years, the problems increased, the troubles endured, but the struggle was strengthened.

Today we are standing with greater power. The monopolistic bourgeoisie is afraid of the power of the struggle. The fight did not reach victory, but it will reach. The oppressed peoples fight to destroy fascism and gain freedom. Our salvation combines streams flowing through separate channels just like Gezi. Workers, women, young people, Kurdish people, working Alevis, oppressed peoples should solidify, strengthen the struggle together and succeed in continuity. In Gezi, millions had a single punch, and the sovereigns had a big and shocking blow. We’ve done this recently. Now it’s time to continue this, to reach the end.

It is the time for the Seas, Mahirler, Ibrahims, the Mazlum, the sovereigns of the United Revolution, to burn and destroy the sovereigns with the fire of the United Revolution.

The source of the problems we have experienced should take over capitalism and fascism; We must gain freedom. This is the ultimate and definite way of salvation from poverty, misery, deep decay, fascist terror and oppression, national pressure and assimilation.

We greet our comrades who are immortalized in Gezi. We respectfully promise in front of his memories.

We will bring the fight of revolution and freedom to victory. Ethem Sarısülük, Ali İsmail Korkmaz, Berkin Elvan, Mehmet Ayvalıtaş, Abdullah Cömert and Ahmet Atakan are immortal!

We will destroy fascism, we will gain freedom!
Long live the travel public uprising!
