Let’s Embrace the Rojava Revolution: No Passage for Fascist Occupiers! 

We are in a period in which we are witnessing important developments in the Middle East. Regimes are collapsing, wars are deepening. In this historical process, the Kurdish question is once again on the agenda of the peoples of the Middle East and Turkey in particular.

Throughout history, the imperialist powers have supported the insolvency of the Kurdish question and the conflictual processes that emerged from it, and established comprehensive alliance relations with the colonial powers in these processes. 

Today, extensive occupation attacks are being carried out in the territory of North East Syria by the fascist state and the Syrian National Army gangs supported by it. After the collapse of the Assad regime on December 8, the process turned into a counter-revolutionary attack on the lands of the Rojava Revolution.

The fascist Erdoğan regime is making a desperate effort to strangle the Rojava Revolution by using all its means. The government has based its entire foreign policy on the policy of liquidating the gains made by the Kurdish people. With the taxes of the working people of Turkey and Kurdistan, SNA gangs and occupation policies are being implemented.

In this respect, one of the first reasons for the poverty of our people is the dirty war policies carried out by the fascist government. The dirty war policies that have been going on for years, the economic and social values stolen from the future of the workers and laborers of Turkey, and the peoples, are being transferred to the genocidal war waged by the fascist government against the Kurdish people. In this respect, dirty war and fascist attacks deepen poverty and exploitation.

While the fascist government insists on its war policies against the Kurdish people, it also gives signs that it is ready to start a new process in the Kurdish question within the country. Here, it is necessary to grasp more strongly the fact that the process of non-solution of the Kurdish question has now become a dead end. From the point of view of the fascist government, the fact that it cannot defeat the Kurdish freedom struggle with its policy of no solution and extermination attacks has been revealed. What obliges the ruling powers to talk about the Kurdish question is the struggle for freedom that the Kurdish people and the working class of Turkey and the socialist forces have been waging for years and the price they have paid for this cause. From now on, the main determinant of the process will be the struggle of these forces.

Today, while the government is making statements pointing to the solution process in Turkish politics, it is also increasing its occupation attacks on Rojava lands. 

In this respect, defending the Rojava Revolution also means defending the future of the peoples of the Middle East. The peoples of Syria are not without a future. Apart from Salafist Islamist gangs such as HTS and SNA in Syria, the only force that truly represents the democratic and free future of the peoples has been the Rojava Revolution and the autonomous democratic administration formed around its idea. 

We, as the United Revolutionary Movement of the Peoples, embrace the Rojava Revolution. On this basis, we will work with all our strength to ensure that the occupying fascist government fails in the attacks on Rojava.

Today, the fascist government is carrying out massacres against civil rights who resisted to protest the occupation attacks on the Tişrin, Karakozak and Kobani lines. 

Even these developments reveal how hostile the fascist government is to the peoples’ struggle for freedom. The fascist government, which massacres the civilian population in Rojava, also implements all kinds of oppression and attacks against those who want democracy and freedom within its borders. 

Trustees are appointed to municipalities, politicians are arrested and journalists are detained. All these developments are evidence of the fascist government’s insistence on a policy of war and no solution to the Kurdish question.

In the face of all these attacks, we consider it our duty to build an internationalist revolutionary solidarity that goes beyond the limits of fascist power. It is a fundamental revolutionary duty to embrace the Rojava Revolution and to protest the occupying regime on this basis by all means within its own territory. 

The defeat of fascism will pave the way for the struggle for a United Revolution in Turkey and Kurdistan. On this basis, we must mobilize all our means to ensure that the fascist government fails in its invasion attack on the Rojava Revolution. 

Our call to the working class and toilers of Turkey is not to remain silent in the face of this fascist occupation. On this basis, we must unite around the banner of the United Revolution and raise the banner of freedom and fraternity of peoples against the occupying forces.

The day is a day to organize against fascism, to embrace the Rojava Revolution and to mobilize for the defeat of the gangs supported by the occupiers. HBDH Militias should target the occupiers and the fascist genocidal groups that support them in all areas where they are present. 

In this respect, the occupation attack on Kobani, which is the symbol of the Rojava Revolution, should be met with the spirit of Kobani.
