Turkish Peace Assembly has organized a press release named “Turkey Is Meeting For Peace! Democratic Solution For The Kurdish Problem” today (August 12) together with the Revolutionary Confederation of Labor Unions (DİSK) in its Istanbul branch building.
“Our bread is getting smaller every day”
Necmiye Alpay emphasized that pushing the Kurdish problem towards no-solution by resorting to military operations and militaristic methods had been increasing the death toll.
“They prevent people from returning to their villages. In addition to the operations, they are forming new cadres for the paramilitaristic village defenders. The war economy is causing the poor to become poorer; our bread is getting smaller every day.”
“War is imposed on as the only choice”
The announcement pointed out to the effort to make enemies out of the peoples who have been living together for years by fomenting militarism, chauvinism and racism in the political atmosphere. They also added that all of the problems, including the Kurdish problem, could be solved by using methods appropriate to the principles of the human rights and democracy and basing them upon the understanding of full equality between peoples and cultures and their total freedom.
They will march on August 31
Peace Assembly promoters are inviting everyone who says peace against war, life against death, brotherhood against hostility to the meeting named “Turkey Is Meeting For Peace! Democratic Solution In The Kurdish Problem” that will take place in Diyarbakır, Adana and Istanbul Kadıköy simultaneously on August 31. (NV-ZG/EZÖ/TB)
