DHKC Statement Concerning Attempted Attack On U.S. Consulate

Revolutionary People’s Liberation Front (DHKC) Press Bureau June 4, 1999 - Declaration 87

America Destroyed Our Independence, It Wants To Destroy The Independence Of All Countries

It Has Been Bombing The People Of Yugoslavia For Months Because It Wants To Break It Up And Establish Its Domination

When the U.S., or any other imperialists, attack another country, their aim is to destroy everything related to the independence and freedom of the peoples, and their dignity of life.

For this purpose, U.S. imperialism has been bombing the Yugoslav people for three months. States which are servants of America and whose brains are under their control are applauding this attack. They are flattering America, urging it to leave not a single stone standing, and to murder more. All those who talk about human rights, the right of nations to self-determination, and countries’ sovereignity are suporting the American massacres by telling them to bomb more, to murder more. Bombs, missiles, and armies can never destroy a peoples’ desire for freedom. They may leave no stone standing, they may murder millions however, this weapon will be turned around and used against them. Because with this weapon they have murdered the people, and tried to destroy their history. But the people’s history cannot be destroyed. Peoples who have been slaughtered never forget and their history cannot be wiped out even if centuries pass. Anger, resistance and rebellion build up within the people who have been subject to slaughter. And that rebellion, sooner or later, emerges and overwhelms the tyrants. Today, all the imperialists boast while murdering people with their planes and their remote controlled missiles spewing out blood. The tyrants will never live long. Wherever there are imperialists and their collaborators, there will be the struggle of oppressed peoples.

However much imperialism wants to turn the oppressed peoples into each others enemies in order to divide them, the peoples will sooner or later grasp the reality of brotherhood and raise the flag of struggle. Our people has no hostility towards the peoples of the Balkans. The imperialists are the ones who are the enemies of the Balkan peoples and who want to divide and weaken them and destroy their freedom. Despite the fact that the imperialists together with their colloborators, under the leadership of USA, have been bombing the Yugoslav people, they still have not been able to seize control of them. This is the strength of the oppressed peoples. This is the honourable resistance of a technically and militarilly weak people against all the imperialists, with all their huge strength. Even though they level Yugoslavia to the ground and divide it, the permanent victory will not belong to the imperialists ! In order to protest America’s attack on Yugoslavian people, and to strengthen our people’s fraternal feelings towards the Yugoslav people, on June 4, 1999 around 6:00 p.m., we attempted to carry out an attack against the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul, with missiles. Two of our fighters, Sadik Mamati And Seluk Akgul, drew the attention of the police while approaching the consulate, clashed with them, and died as martyrs in the fight. As long as the American bases remain on the soil of our motherland, as long as imperialism tries to turn the peoples into each other’s enemies and murders them, our war will continue.

Down With Imperialism !

Long Live Independent Turkey !

Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Peoples Of Yugoslavia And Turkey !
