>THE FRATERNITY OF THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD
>We condemn the killings of two Britons in Istanbul as well as
>the racist attacks against the peoples of Turkey who live in Britain.

>To the peoples of Britain:
>Today, we are marching to salute the foundation of our hope, the DHKP-C
>(Revolutionary People's Liberation Party � Front) and to commemorate our
>martyrs who have fallen during our struggle for freedom, independence and
>democracy.
>We are from Turkey and Kurdistan. We are struggling against imperialism and
>fascism. The struggle against imperialism and its collaborators means
>opposing its culture and morality as well. The "culture" of imperialism and
>fascism is based on suppressing and depoliticising people rather than
>serving their development.
>They use alcohol, drugs and football for this purpose. While poisoning the
>youth both physically and mentally, their capital grows. They benefit
>doubly from it.
>Football is only a sport. But it is also used as a tool. For years,
>football was used during Franco's Spain, Hitler's Germany, Salazar's
>Portugal and Videla's Argentina. For example, the World Cup was taking
>place in Argentina while dozens, hundreds of people were made to
>"disappear". The people in Brazil are suffering from poverty and inflation
>while football and carnivals are used to divert them.
>What a coincidence! Such popular sports are always used by the fascist
>regimes. While the masses were diverted and preoccupied by football;
>torture, disappearances, massacres, concentration camps, crematoriums were
>taking place at the same time. People were either destroyed mentally or/and
>destroyed physically.
>How does this happen in Turkey? The fascist state in Turkey uses everything
>for its own benefit.
>The massacre at Ulucanlar prison. 10 revolutionary prisoners were killed on
>September 26th, last year. The agenda had to be changed. What did the state
>use, do you think? FOOTBALL.
>Turkey was made a candidate member of the European Union. So it was
>essential to be "European". How could they be while their anti-democratic
>exercises take place? Galatasaray became the lifesaver. Its success in the
>European Cup was enough to cover everything up.
>The football clubs in Turkey are centres for laundering "black money"
>(capital that is earned through dirty businesses like drug trafficking,
>prostitution, ..etc.) The chairs of the major football clubs are either
>fascists and mafia mobs or have close relations with them.
>"We came here to die or win the game!" is one of the main slogans of
>football fans in Turkey. Nobody would die if it was only a sport.
>Today, professional football is not a sport which physically and mentally
>satisfies the needs of the people, mainly the youth. It has new social and
>political functions which directly influence the psychology of the masses.
>Degeneration is the aim, football is the tool of it.
>The violence of the "culture of alcohol and vulgarity" became a way of
>discharging the anger of the people. Those who were cast out became
>"somebody" when they were welcomed to stadiums. They became members of
>sects. Then, they targeted each other. The fans of the rival teams became
>the main enemy. In the international games, nationalistic feelings were
>added. There are examples in Turkey when people from two neighbouring
>cities have killed each other because of a football match. The most recent
>example is the killing of two Leeds United fans. Those nationalist/fascist
>oriented lumpens were used to teach a lesson and save the "honour" of the
>Turkish nation! This killing is the consequence of the depoliticisation
>policy of the fascist state in Turkey and imperialism.
>Those who are for democracy, human rights, independence and
>self-determination of nations, must oppose imperialism and its collaborator
>- the fascist state in Turkey.
>Who are our friends, who are our enemies? This must be clearly determined.
>Those who use the incident in Istanbul as an excuse to carry out attacks
>against "foreigners" are racists. The enemy of the peoples of Britain is
>not those who were forced to leave their countries for either political or
>economic reasons.
>We call upon all those who are for the fraternity of the peoples of the
>world and against the exploitation and oppression of imperialism and its
>collaborators, to unite and struggle against the common enemy.
