>From: dhkcbureau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >First of all, we are sending our greetings from the revolutionary movement >of Turkey to the people of Cuba and the leader of the Communist Party of >Cuba. At this moment, in the prisons of Turkey, 99 of our comrades are on >the Death Fast to stop the fascist authorities' policy of torture and >massacre. We are writing this letter while day by day they approach nearer >to death. >Delegations have gone to Cuba from Turkey on behalf of the "Great National >Parliament of Turkey". As revolutionaries from Turkey, we want to warn you >concerning these delegations. These delegations sometimes go under the name >of economic partnership, sometimes under the name of friendship between >parliaments. As a revolutionary and socialist country, Cuba has to be very >careful in its relations with Turkey, which has a fascist regime in power. >Do you know whose hands you are shaking and with whom you are sitting down? >We assume that you have at least some information about the revolutionary >struggle, revolutionary organisations and the counter-revolutionaries in >Turkey. It is possible to supply some information about the people who are >taking part in these delegations. That is why we need to write this letter. >For instance, one member of this delegation is Mehmet Gul. He is travelling >to your country in the capacity of a "member of parliament". But it does not >change the reality, which is that he is a fascist contra. >In our country, none of those who are "members of parliament" are in fact >representatives of the people. Elections are for show, and these people are >the creatures of the monopoly bourgeoisie and the generals. >Mehmet Gul was elected to parliament for the fascist party MHP. The MHP is a >civilian fascist organisation, which was nurtured by the CIA like ARENA in >El Salvador and the contras in Nicaragua. It was deployed to repress >revolutionary struggles, and it massacred thousands of revolutionaries and >democrats. >That M.P. named Mehmet Gul personally joined in murders and massacres and >directed others, like the fascist chief that he is. He was the organiser of >the notorious March 16, 1978 massacre, in which seven revolutionary students >were slain. He was part of the "Training Group". The system's judiciary did >not punish him, this fascist was allowed to stand for parliament on behalf >of the MHP. We believe these are good enough reasons not to shake his hand. >The MHP is a party which massacred thousands of people, slew many in Maras >and Corum and inflicted terror on our people before the September 12, 1980 >military coup. For a time after that, the contras who were trained by this >party were given special military and police powers, and then they carried >on their murders and massacres wearing the official uniform of the state. >They still do this. Turkey may be far away for you, but all this has a >historical and political meaning. If you want, we can send you hundreds of >documents regarding members of this MHP which is in power in Turkey, and >which is trying to establish relations with Cuba as part of this delegation. >They are using this in the internal politics of Turkey to mask their fascist >face. You should not permit this. >We know the difficulties of Cuba and the fact that it is besieged. We can >understand certain things. But there absolutely must be some limits to this. >Cuba is important for us. It is important from the point of view of >socialism and from the point of view of revolutionary values. The >revolutionaries of Turkey are proud of your statement that "rather than >surrender to imperialism we will sink the island." Such statements of yours >strengthened our own determination. We have been fighting against the New >World Order, the oligarchy of Turkey and the contra-guerrilla organisations >for 30 years. We have been massacred by the MHP fascists and the state's >murderers. We have been made the target of disappearances, but even when we >were besieged by hundreds of the murderers, we still held aloft the flag of >socialism. Not long ago, in Ulucanlar Prison in the capital city of Ankara, >contras who organised an operation against our comrades asked, "Are you >going to surrender or die?" Our comrades without hesitation replied, "We are >going to die but we will not surrender." Ten of our captive comrades were >martyred in this operation. If it is necessary to die, if it is necessary to >"sink the island", then these are the slogans that are indispensable to >resist the New World Order and defend and continue socialism. >Because we share these slogans, we think we have the right to ask you to be >sensitive in such relations with delegations that have been sent by fascist >oligarchies. Here we are fighting for Cuba as well. With the revolution, we >want to shake the world once again from Turkey. We know and believe that >this is the most effective way to achieve international solidarity with >Cuba: to increase the number of revolutions and socialist countries! Perhaps >Cuba is quite lonely in economic terms, but it must resist. We have to >resist. There will be more Cubas. This cannot be prevented. >We resist, we fight and WE WILL WIN! >We send you our revolutionary greetings and our feelings of comradely >solidarity. >November 27, 2000 > >DHKP (Devrimci Halk Kurtulus Partisi, Revolutionary People's Liberation >Party) > >Our Party can be reached via the Devrimci Halk Kurtulus Cephesi Belgium >Information Bureau. >Rue Belliard 197 bte/8 >1040 Bruxelles >Mail. >DHKC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Homepage: www.dhkc.org >Telephone: 0032 2280 2228 >Telephone fax 0032 2 2300866 >Telephone 0032 2 2802229 > > > _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
