Turkey: US imperialism

"It can easily be understood from Bush and Blair's statements 
who benefited from the bombs. The two leaders of imperialism look 
at the bloodshed in Istanbul and reiterate their call for 
'struggle against international terrorism'. The bombs benefit 
imperialism and those who are trying to further condemn Turkey to 
the arms of the US", the Communist Party of Turkey said in a 
statement following the suicide bombings outside British embassy 
in Istanbul.

US planes have once again commenced bombing Iraqi cities, and the 
occupying coalition has met an impasse. "Imperialist aggression 
has found a new excuse based on terror".

The Communist Party statement says, "Our country is being pushed 
into imperialism's evil front". It is not a coincidence that the 
attacks have occurred at the same time as Turkey was to send 
troops and a governor to Afghanistan.

The fundamentalist Islamist organisations were produced to be the 
puppets of the US, and today they continue to serve their 
masters. Just as it is clear that the Istanbul attacks have 
helped the US, it is definite that the fundamentalists are not 
independent actors, the Party said.

"US imperialism and its puppet fundamentalists have drowned 
Turkey in blood. And while the blood of our people is being shed, 
our country is being administered by a pro-US/Fundamentalist 
coalition.

"The Communist Party of Turkey extends its condolences to the 
loved ones of those who have lost their lives in this attack, and 
calls on our patriotic public to attend the funerals in order to 
show its power and solidarity to imperialism and its puppets."
