Labour Youth: We Will Not Let The War Policies Decide On Our Future!

Labour Youth: We Will Not Let The War Policies Decide On Our Future!

As the Labour Youth, we are calling the youth of Turkey to unite against these war policies and join the struggle for peace and an independent, democratic, secular country!

AKP government had been trying to convince the people for operation to Afrin in the name of a nationalist foreign policy, and the operation has started by the Turkish Armed Forces’ jets’ bombing of Afrin. AKP-Erdoğan government, who had been leading the country to the war step by step, wants to antagonize the peoples and increase the tension within the country by Afrin operation. While their children are busy making millions with accounts in the Isle of Man, the future of the children of the laborers is shaped by war and conflict. AKP government, who could not give an account of previous Euphrates Shield Operation, in which 71 young people had died, pushes the youth of Turkey to yet another war front.

THE WAR OF ONE-PARTY ONE-MAN REGIME!

AKP-Erdoğan government and the capitalists who are backing it, are using war policies to build a one-party one-man regime. This operation is the instrument of ignoring the demands of millions of young people who are struggling against unemployment and no future prospects.

The aims of the reactionary bloc of AKP-MHP, which is announced in the eve of 2019 elections, is to repress the critics of war policies by marking them as “traitors” and to make this war one of the bases of one-party one-man regime by presenting this war as a “national cause.”

WE WILL NOT SURRENDER TO WAR POLICIES!

It will be the workers, laborers and the youth who will be paying for this war! As a result, taxes and the prices of basic necessities will go up, wages and salaries will decrease, and the burden of this war will be weighed down on the laborers and youth.

The ones who have benefits on this war are not the peoples of Turkey and Middle East, but the ones who had been fuelling the war and trying to build an oppressive regime. Getting involved in the Syrian war, which has been going on for seven years, will not bring peace or solution, but it will bring destruction! This is not our war; this is Erdoğan’s war to build a one-man regime!

As the Labour Youth, we are calling the youth of Turkey to unite against these war policies and join the struggle for peace and an independent, democratic, secular country!
