A large, warm and comradely gathering of two communist parties and two peoples

On Sunday evening, 21 September, a large gathering and concert celebrating the music of Mikis Theodorakis with the theme “For the bread, the light and the song of the whole world” took place in Izmir. This was the second concert organized by the Central Committees of the CP of Greece and the CP of Turkey to honour the centenary of Mikis Theodorakis’s birth. The first concert took place on the island of Chios two days earlier.

At the event, Nikos Sofianos, a member of the PB of the CC of the KKE, and Kemal Okuyan, GS of the CC of TKP, spoke about the significant work of Mikis Theodorakis, which was inextricably linked to the struggles for social liberation, the friendship among the peoples and their struggles today, the Palestinian people who continue to shed their blood and the future that the peoples can bring about by believing in their own strength.

Concluding his speech, Nikos Sofianos said: “Our parties are intensifying their efforts to strengthen their roots within the working class and its movement, to analyze contemporary international and domestic developments dialectically, and to enrich the revolutionary strategy that responds to our times, as an era of transition from capitalism to socialism. We are confident that the communists in Turkey will take further significant steps in their struggle for the interests of the working class and the Turkish people. Turkey and the wider region need an even stronger Communist Party of Turkey”.
