"The AKP government has signed the so-called “Mecca Joint Defense Agreement” and thereby dragged our country into a new and extremely dangerous military adventure. The agreement’s most important declared clause treats an armed attack on any one of the three countries as an attack on all of them.
Hundreds of TKP members gathered in central Ankara at the time and place previously announced by the party, despite extraordinary security measures that had effectively placed parts of the capital under a de facto state of emergency. As demonstrators marched toward Kızılay Square chanting anti-NATO and anti-imperialist slogans, police intervened and detained more than 100 participants.
The event, held in Istanbul's Kadıköy district, formed part of the TKP's nationwide anti-NATO campaign and came amid sweeping restrictions imposed by the Erdoğan government, including a blanket ban on demonstrations and public gatherings in the capital.
The Ankara Governor's Office has announced a blanket ban on meetings, demonstrations, marches, rallies, sit-ins, press statements and similar public events from June 28 to July 10, citing security concerns related to the NATO summit scheduled for July 7–8.
Turkey is at a crossroads.
On one side of this crossroads lies a reality in which the interests of the working majority are sacrificed for the profits of a small group of monopolies; where extreme wealth and extreme poverty coexist; where absolute exploitation and inequality prevail; where the expansionist ambitions of capital disregard the borders and internal affairs of other countries; where there is full alignment with imperialism; and perhaps where the neo-Ottoman ambitions of Turkish capital could drive the country toward an existential abyss.
"The KKE denounces the decision of the Turkish state and AKP government to arrest the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, and to remove him from his office, the suppression of the demonstrations and the mass arrests of demonstrators, including members of the Communist Party (TKP) and the Communist Youth of Turkey, as well as journalists.
The state-run Anadolu Agency said prosecutors issued detention warrants for the mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, and some 100 other people. Among those detained was Imamoglu’s close aide, Murat Ongun.

| Al-Shara with Erdogan in Ankara, 4/2/2025 |
"Al-Shara, who was put in charge of Syria after it was destroyed by an international operation, with the collaboration of the US, UK and Israel, is visiting Turkey. This jihadist, remnant of ISIS, is meeting with Erdoğan today.
The beginning of the war in Ukraine should perhaps be taken as 2014, but in this article [1] we will focus on the period starting with the Russian intervention into Ukrainian territory in February 2022. The war in Ukraine did not take place between two nation states, Ukraine was put forward as a proxy of NATO, in other words of imperialist Euro-Atlantic bloc, so the war took place between NATO and Russia. But more generally, Ukraine was a front in the war of imperialist division, which is a product of the imperialist rivalry that has now taken over the world, a war that has not yet become total.
Israel wants a full-scale conflict. Its interests and the fanaticism it constantly nurtures require that. It believes that it has seized a favourable opportunity to consolidate and expand the territories it has occupied.
"We remember the great disaster like it was yesterday.
How can we forget the thousands of people who died under the rubble while the state was completely absent, who were displaced from their homes and left to despair, how can we forget our neighborhoods, our districts, our labor, our history.
"It is only a matter of time before NATO, the world’s largest terrorist organisation, expands to include one more country.
We cannot be expected to remain indifferent to Sweden’s membership of NATO. Our interest does not only come from our responsibility to fight against the role of our own government in the oppression of the peoples of other countries.
"Those who are trying to squeeze the struggle of this people into the ballot box should shut up from now on!
The results of the second round of the presidential elections have been largely finalized. Of course, it cannot be said that what emerged as the outcome of the elections, which were pointed to determine the fate of Turkey, is a hope for a bright future.
Defeating the AKP by becoming like the AKP was a great illusion and deceiving the people. The so-called Nation Alliance is the subject of this illusion and the effort to deceive the people.
AKP, on the other hand, has been deceiving the country for more than 20 years.
