The developments in Turkey once again expose the EU, NATO and the USA, which have made the Erdoğan government a strategic partner

The KKE expresses its solidarity with the Turkish people and the Communist Party of Turkey and demands an end to the repression and persecution and the release of those arrested

The Press Office of the CC of the KKE issued the following statement on the developments in Turkey:

 

“The KKE condemns the decision of the Turkish state and the AKP government to arrest and remove from office the Mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu, the repression of demonstrations and the mass arrests of demonstrators, including cadres of the Communist Party of Turkey and the Communist Youth of Turkey, as well as journalists.

These developments once again expose the EU, NATO and the USA, which have made the Erdoğan government a strategic partner and a ‘guardian’ of their interests in the region. They show the intensification of the intra-bourgeois contradictions, for which the people will pay the price.

The KKE expresses its solidarity with the Turkish people and the Communist Party of Turkey and demands an end to the repression and persecution and the release of those arrested.”
