"No one will save you in your stead! Rise up!"- Statement by the Communist Party, Turkey on Istanbul terrorist attack

Statement by the Communist Party, Turkey (Komünist Parti) regarding the terrorist attack in Istanbul's airport / Source: International Communist Press.

No people is by nature predisposed to take massacres for granted, to kneel before tyranny, and to keep silent against fundamentalism. Any people who do so lose their humanity.

We reject to get used to massacres, bomb attacks, and political murders.

We reject to put up with a government who always try to present massacres, bomb attacks, and political murders as usual events.

We reject to keep silent against a government who interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, who prompt terrorists to attack those lands, and who back the same terrorists in the name of “sacred values” in its own country. 

We reject to recognize the law of those who pass new bills in the parliament while tens die due to the indifference, hypocrisy, sinister plans, and ineptitude of the government.

We reject to put up with the bourgeoisie and moneybags who think the sun rises and sets on their profits in this bloodbath. 

We reject to stand those enemies of humankind under the guise of “advisors” who mock with grieving people and threat them.

We reject to leave the Turkish Airlines administration, who employ pro-ISIS people in the most critical positions, in peace.

We reject to take for granted that Prime Minister claiming that “there is no security flaw” and those officers who drop the dazed passengers in Taksim square in the middle of the night. 

We will not tolerate those cab drivers, who laugh all the way to the bank by overcharging desperate people, while tarnishing their colleagues’ reputation who rush the injured to the hospital free of charge. 

No people is by nature predisposed to take massacres for granted, to kneel before tyranny, and to keep silent against fundamentalism. Any people who do so lose their humanity.  

The solution will not come from heavens! This country will not see shining days without a struggle! 

Do not grumble, get organized! 

Do not shirk calling this reactionary government to account, and the moneybags who murmur about the “country’s reputation” and tourist count while our fellow citizens are being massacred.

Rise up!

Communist Party, Turkey (KP), 29.6.2016.
