Resolution
on Turkey:
For
the annullment of government decrees and an end to the state of
emergency
In
Turkey, the state of emergency declared by the Erdogan regime
following the coup attempt last year is still in full force under the
pretext of “the fight against the coup plotters”. Government
decrees issued so far have made clear that this “fight” was not
limited to the coup plotters, but rather, since Erdogan called it a
“god sent opportunity”, the state of emergency is being used to
realize a counter-coup against the progressive, democratic and
revolutionary forces of the country. It is obvious that Erdogan
regime wants to normalize the state of emergency or keep it at least
until the presidential regime is fully established, as it gives thim
freedom from accountability, to legitimise his arbitrary actions.
As
European members of the ICMLPO, we demand the annulment of the
government decrees issued as part of the state of emergency, which
caused the dismissal of five thousand university lecturers and
hundreds of thousands of people, the arrest of tens of thousands of
people and the closing of dozens of newspapers, journals, TV channels
and radio stations. We declare solidarity with the struggles of the
democratic forces of Turkey who demand an end to the state of
emergency, and engage ourselves in campaigns to achieve this.
