In a statement regarding the attack on a rally organised by the Communist Party of Turkey to protest against the NATO summit in Ankara, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) points out:
“The KKE strongly condemns the police attack and general repression unleashed by the Turkish government against yesterday's rally organised by the Communist Party of Turkey in Ankara, which expressed opposition to the NATO Summit and its imperialist plans hostile to the peoples.
We denounce the ban on rallies and all forms of protest imposed in the Turkish capital, which has been turned into a fortress to protect the NATO summit.
The KKE expresses its unwavering solidarity with the Communist Party of Turkey and the protesters, and demands the immediate release of the 120 people arrested.
Hands off the Turkish communists and the Communist Party of Turkey!”
