Communist
Party, Turkey (KP) released a statement on the military activities
ongoing since the night of 15th July. Following is the full text
of the statement from KP:
"The Communist Party is calling on our people to organize in the Party's ranks against the enemies of the people and humanity.
The liberation is in our own hands.
We
do not have all the details of what happened during the coup attempt
that took place in Turkey in the hours between July 15 and July 16.
However,
we know very well that plans that are supported by foreign forces,
that do not take its power from the working class can not defeat AKP
darkness and solve Turkey's problems.
The
only power that can overthrow AKP is the people's power, there is no
alternative to it.
AKP
is responsible for all that took place tonight. All the factors that
led to the current situation and the conditions are the product of
AKP's rule and the domestic and foreign bosses that support AKP.
However,
the fact that the main responsible party is AKP does not mean that
the coup attempt was one that was orchestrated by Erdogan himself in
order to achieve his objectives such as paving the path to an
executive presidency or clearing the obstacles facing the new
constitution.
The
tension and the rivalries between different groups within the state
and the armed forces that have been known to exist for a while have
turned into armed conflict. While the tension between these forces is
real, it is a lie that any of the sides in this conflict represent
the interests of the people. Following this, searching for the
solution against AKP's rule in a military coup is as wrong as lending
any support to AKP under the guise of taking a position against
military coups for whatever reason. The last thing that should be
done in the name of supporting freedom and human rights in Turkey is
to lend support to AKP which has proven over and over that it is an
enemy of humanity.
While
they have not orchestrated this coup, Erdoğan and AKP will make an
effort to use the resulting conditions and the support they received
as means to increase their legitimacy. Our people should be on the
alert against steps that AKP will be certain to take in the days to
come. Raising the struggle against AKP and its darkness is the only
way to stop this failed coup attempt resulting in AKP's solidifying
its rule and turning into a tool for transforming AKP's unstable
Turkey into stability. The fact that all mosques in Turkey have
broadcasted continuous Erdoğan propaganda the whole night is a
concrete indication of the urgency of our task at hand.
The
Communist Party is calling on our people to organize in the Party's
ranks against the enemies of the people and humanity.
The liberation is in our own hands.

Party, Turkey
