There will never be a democracy in Turkey without ousting Sultan Erdogan

By  Martín Romero

The Executive Committee of PKK (Kurdish Workers’ Party) published an statement en which it says that the Turkey’s currently ruling party, the AKP, “ is unable to solve neither the problems of the country nor its democratization”.

The statement emphasized “the necessity of establishing a bloc formed by the forces of radical democracy in order to achieve the democratization de Turkey, preventing further coups, and end the oppression and injustice” (The statement can be read here https://anfenglish.com/news/pkk-democracy-bloc-must-be-formed-in-turkey-immediately)

We, the staff of “Kurdistan from the South” think that only the organization of the workers and all the oppressed in Turkey together with Kurdish Liberation Movement, will be able to defeat the AKP fascist regime,  the pro-coup military clique and the fabric of  “Deep State”.

In the same way, the unity between Syrian revolutionary movement and popular forces of Rojava and Northern Syria will be able to consolidate revolution, in order to spread it and defeat the dictatorships and authoritarian regimes in the region.

The bourgueois leadership of Turkey’s traditional parties will not be the one who will allow the self determination of Kurdish people. Nor they will help in the implementation of Democratic Confederalism.

Much for the contrary, they are likely to stand in the side of the authoritarian state, be it Kemalist or Islamist-conservative, in order to defeat Kurdistan Liberation Movement and Turkish democratic and popular forces, as happened in the past.

Only with the defeat of Erdogan and his ambitions of building a sultanate it will be possible to advance in that direction, with a broad calling to all circles supporting a radical democracy, boosting mobilization in the streets of the cities, the villages and the mountains of Turkey and Bakur.

In this sense, unity for imposing a true reform of the Constitution, not through parliamentary agreements between party higher echelons – as happened up to now- but with a real, democratic Constituent Assembly, in which the whole population would discuss y solve al its aspects, is critical.

Within this framework, we will propose socialist measures and a workers’ and people’s government within a Federation of States and Autonomous Regions of the Middle East together with self- determination of the peoples of Kurdistan, for them to be the ones who decide about their own future,  instead of the states oppressing them.

We, the comrades of “Kurdistan from the South”, commit ourselves to launch an internationalist call to collaborate, to participate and discuss with all the organizations, both local and international, as we already have been doing, to redouble the efforts for breaking the chains of peoples suffering the repression and the harassment of Turkish regime.
