Our country is effectively under occupation.
Our economic, political, and military independence has been eroded.
In all regions of our country, at least one base provides security services to the imperialist states. The same bases stand ready to bring us back under command if we break free from imperialist oppression.
Our territory is being used to provide intelligence and logistical support in attacks on the fraternal peoples of our region. When necessary, we are put under pressure to become a center for direct attacks.
Our economy is built entirely upon exploitation. Those who live by their labor are grappling with poverty, unemployment, and precarity. A handful of the rich amass wealth upon wealth.
The Koç and Sabancı conglomerates, along with the cronies entrenched in and around Erdoğan’s “Illegal Palace,” line their own pockets while they act as watchdogs for the flow of resources to their imperialist masters.
All of our civil rights have been suspended. The government, having made deals with the imperialist centers in exchange for the country’s future, does not hesitate to usurp the right to elect and be elected.
Every trick in the book is played so that our people do not raise their heads and question, do not come together and disperse this darkness. Gangs are unleashed onto the streets. Cults are infiltrated all the way down to kindergartens. When that is not enough, the judiciary and law enforcement forces themselves are being weaponized against the people.
Our country has been designated as the venue for the 2026 summit of NATO, which has brought nothing but filth and blood to the whole world, especially our region.
The imperialists will make their sinister plans to take more lives and exploit even more in July of this year, in Turkey.
The picture is clear: In Turkey, power lies in the hands of US- and Israeli stooges, sultan wannabes, and money-worshipping reactionaries.
Turkey, like a country defeated in war, is left waiting to rise again and be rebuilt.
Some words, however, must be spoken again:
“As they have come, so they will go.”
Just as the young Mustafa Kemal said back in late 1918, and, of course, was later the vanguard of turning it into reality, as the fleet of the occupiers was seen passing through the Bosphorus…
Just as Deniz Gezmiş, Mahir Çayan, and their comrades once again raised the banner of independence and the struggle against imperialism, drove the 6th Fleet out of the straits, and gave “Blowtorch Bob” Komer, the Butcher of Vietnam, the response he deserved…
Just as the masses filled the streets back in 2003 against the AKP government—which desired to turn our country into a base for the American invasion of Iraq—and sent away those who came to drag our country into war empty-handed…
We do believe, and we do know; our people will show the world that they will not accept the fate imposed on them from the Pentagon and from the Epstein Island.
Turkey will once again settle onto a revolutionary course to win its economic, political, and military independence.
However, this will not materialize by itself. A savior will not come to us from afar. We must win what is rightfully ours with our own strength, our own organization, and our own struggle.
Great burden falls upon you, upon me, upon us, upon all of us.
The Party of Revolution Party calls on all our citizens to shoulder this burden together.
Join this struggle. Join, so that we can say it proudly once again, all together:
As they have come, so they will go!
