Last night (2.11.2023) we blew up the front door of the Netto store in Schlieren, Zurich. The store belongs to Falken GmbH or Murat Şahin. Murat Şahin is the long-standing head of UID (Union of International Democrats, a Turkish Nationalist NGO) Switzerland, a central organ of the AKP’s European operations. In the past, he has repeatedly organized Swiss appearances by high-ranking members of Erdogan’s palace and he is in and out of the Turkish consulate in Zurich. Let’s attack the fascists where we find them!
In recent weeks, the Turkish war policy of the fascist AKP-MHP regime against Rojava has explicitly targeted civilian infrastructure. Among other places, electricity plants and the water supply were bombed – with the explicit consent of US imperialism. What secures the lives of all was destroyed by Turkish air strikes. Let’s not forget that this is happening against the backdrop of a long-standing blockade against Rojava, which has been aiming at cutting off the people (and thus the basis of the revolutionary process). Let’s not forget that the weekly murderous drone strikes against cadres of the movement, as well as against journalists and representatives of the political structures there, are part of everyday warfare in Rojava. Let’s not forget how in the free Kurdish mountains of northern Iraq the Turkish state (with the support of the corrupt Barzani regime) is trying to destroy the guerrillas with barbaric means such as poison gas, because they are the hearts and minds of the freedom movement.
Let’s not forget any of this. Let’s keep pace with the Turkish war against Rojava and against the Kurdish freedom movement by attacking on many levels in the different phases of the war, but never pausing, never giving up the initiative. Just as the comrades of the HPG (People’s Defence Forces, military wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party / PKK) did, for example, when they mercilessly demonstrated to the fascist regime on the day of the opening of parliament in Ankara that they could be attacked even in the lion’s den*. No matter how many obstacles lie ahead of us, the fight for freedom seeks and finds ways to put the oppressors in their place and thus fan the flames of hope again and again. Flames that are also fanned by other armed forces, such as those of the HBDH (Peoples’ United Revolutionary Movement) in Turkey, when the factories and vehicles of AKP politicians are set on fire.
This line of not allowing the fascist forces of the AKP-MHP regime, the current main enemy of the revolutionary movement in Turkey and Kurdistan, a quiet hinterland, but rather hounding, chasing and attacking them, so that a permanent look over the shoulder becomes their companion, is a line that we can continue seamlessly here. We know well enough how important organized support from the Turkish diaspora in Western Europe is for the survival of the regime in Ankara, be it in the mobilization of reactionary masses or in the financial support of the palace. Let’s not allow them a quiet hinterland, let’s increase their unease, let’s sow insecurity within their ranks. And let’s honor the memory of those many comrades-in-arms who fell on the road to liberation. Sehid namirin – Comrade Şervan Karadeniz, Comrade Arin Mirkan and all the other comrades: the worldwide revolutionary movement will take up and continue your struggle!
