Most West >European countries such as Germany have condemned the arrests. They have >said that the arrests are contrary to "democracy". > >GERMANY IS BEHAVING HYPOCRITICALLY! > >Those who support fascism in Turkey in every way cannot condemn the acts of >the fascist authorities in Turkey and cannot up their own responsibility >for them. Whatever the fascist authorities in Turkey have done so far has >been done with the support and authorisation of Germany and the USA. The >savagery of fascism has been underwritten and supported by them. >Germany is supporting fascism in Turkey as well as those forces who carry >out disappearances, massacres, torture and extra-judicial executions. > >- IT SUPPORTS THEM WITH TRAINING, >- IT SUPPORTS THEM WITH THEIR TECHNOLOGY, >- IT SUPPORTS THEM WITH THEIR TANKS, WHICH ARE USED TO DRAG THE CORPSES OF >OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND WITH WEAPONRY WHICH IS USED TO SPILL THE BLOOD OF OUR >PEOPLE, >- IT SUPPORTS THEM WITH THE CREDITS THEY NEED TO CONTINUE THE WAR AGAINST >OUR PEOPLES. > >When Germany's interests are at stake, it never says anything about the >torture and human rights violations committed by fascism in Turkey. >Yesterday they said Turkey could not join the European Union because "you >violate human rights", but because Turkey serves the interests of Germany >in the Balkans, the Middle East and the Caucasus, it has been accepted as a >candidate for membership. Has anything changed? Has democracy come? No, >there has never been democracy in Turkey. Germany, the USA and Turkey have >reached an agreement. They have written a blank cheque. "Protect our >interests, do what you want, but use a democratic facade," they said. And >Turkey has continued to do this. It has stuck to the agreement. The >condemnation of Turkey is only a pretence. > >Germany, which is responsible for the death of fifty million people, is the >fatherland of the repressive laws in Turkey. Germany made the repressive >laws and Turkey imported them. Fascism in Turkey puts into practice the >lessons it has learned from Germany. > >Germany never uses the anti-terror law 129a against neo-Nazi organisations. >The Nazis are free to commit arson, murder and every kind of assault >against non-German immigrants. No German law stops them. But every kind is >placed on revolutionaries' thoughts and they are declared to be >"terrorist". In Turkey there are also the anti-terror laws in force. > >While the German judges condemn revolutionaries to decades in prison in the >interests of the monopolies, the judges of the State Security Court in >Turkey sentence them to life imprisonment in the interest of fascism. There >is no law, no rules, no legislation, no justice. Everything is determined >by the interests of the ruling class. The German judges talk exactly like >the State Security Court judges in Turkey do. They call democratic >activities and beliefs "terror", in the name of "state security" they ban >all kinds of organisations, and if you say you defend freedom, justice and >equality, they put you in isolation in prison to make you give up your >beliefs. The German authorities punish revolutionaries in the name of the >authorities in Turkey. They talk the same language and have the same aims. >In the language of Germany, too, the struggle for freedom and the desire >for justice is called "terror". > >Turkey is imposing bans the same as Germany by saying that we do not >recognise "legal and democratic things", and, just like Germany which tries >to turn people into informers by saying "Abandon your beliefs or we will >deport you," it sentences people to decades in prison. Turkey also punishes >people for their beliefs and uses a law to encourage defections. "The >turncoat said so and so," and with decisions based on that, others are >given prison sentences. > >Turkey, for the sake of its fascist system, has declared war on those who >struggle against fascism and want justice, equality and freedom and has >massacred, made disappear or tortured tens of thousands of our people. >Germany and the USA also declared them to be "terrorists" and thus acted in >support of Turkey. Germany has banned the democratic and legal activities >of revolutionaries and their organisations, and done so contrary even to >its own laws. > >ITS AIM WAS TO STRENGTHEN FASCISM IN TURKEY. > >It wants the fascist authorities in Turkey to remain in power. Everything >is done in the interests of the German authorities and the monopolies. >Therefore it is capable of supporting the most hideous massacres, torture >and oppression. Arrests, disappearances, the Ulucanlar massacre, the >atrocities of Hizbullah� all these things are done in our country with the >support of Germany and the USA. > >Germany has also called revolutionaries "terrorists", and banned them in >support of the interests of fascism in Turkey. This was not enough. Just >like fascism in Turkey, it arrested people, behaved in a tyrannical >fashion, began to carry out constant raids, and when that was not enough it >used solitary confinement. > >They are unanimous in calling freedom fighters "terrorists". They hunt down >revolutionaries. Everything was permissible against "terrorists". No laws >or rules were felt to be necessary. > >WHO ARE THE TERRORISTS? > >Is it those who support every kind of horror, use every kind of massacre in >the interests of the fascist authorities, those who recognise no rules or >laws, is it those who ban beliefs and people in organisations? Or those who >struggle for freedom, justice and democracy? > >WHAT ARE YOU CONDEMNING NOW? > >Isn't it Germany which bans freedom of thought by using solitary >confinement, engages in racism and uses Nazi methods? In order to ban the >thoughts and organisations which do not hold the same beliefs as them or >serve their interests, isn't it Germany which doesn't recognise justice, >rights and law for such organisations and thoughts? > >Turkey also does the same. It bans all kinds of thoughts which are opposed >to the official line. It attacks the legal and democratic institutions and >organisations. In order to copy Germany's practices of applying solitary >confinement, it spends trillions of Turkish lira to build cell-type >prisons. > >The laws under which HADEP supporters were arrested are copies of German >laws. > >It is Germany which supports the fascist regime which arrested HADEP >supporters. Therefore their condemnation is false and they too bear >responsibility. > >Those who declare that human rights should be exercised, the Ulucanlar >massacre should not be repeated and freedom should be given to HADEP >supporters must first abolish their own racist laws and the bans placed on >those called "terrorist". Not doing that means to support the fascist >authorities in Turkey. > >Germany and the USA bear responsibility for the arrests of HADEP >supporters. All their condemnations are a pretence and a lie. > >No terror laws will prevent freedom of thought, >Freedom to HADEP supporters, >Germany must end its bans on freedom of thought and on organisations, >Germany must stop supporting the authorities of fascist Turkey. > >February 26, 2000 > >DHKC >DEVRIMCI HALK KURTULUS CEPHESI (Revolutionary Peoples Liberation Front) >EUROPEAN REPRESENTATION > __________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
