Solidarity to the uprising Turkish people

We follow closely what is happening these days in Taksim and elsewhere in Turkey. We wholeheartedly support you and your fair demands. A protest of only 500 people trying to protect the trees in Gezi park is now the struggle of thousands of you against state violence and fascism.

Contrary to what the governments of both countries are trying to convince us, Greeks and Turks share many social and historical traits. With the latest events we see clearly that we also share the suffering by similar policies driven by the effort of the political and economic elites to deprive people from their basic rights. In both countries, people are confronted with governments that not only don’t represent them but are also prepared to use extensive violence against them. Just as in Greece, we see people and their government in Turkey being two separate worlds and light years apart from having anything in common.

We see the Turkish government looking and behaving very much alike the Greek government. We have little to separate and a lot in common.  Your struggle is our struggle.

You can count on our support and our solidarity!
