Call for International Solidarity

I'm writing this urgent letter to inform you regarding to the ISIL's bombing attack that caused

death of 28 young people and nearly 100 injures in Suru in Turkey where closest town to Kobani. All

the victims were members of the Federation of Socialist Youth Associations which known as youth

organization of ESP (Ezilenlerin Sosyalist Partisi or Socialist Party of the Oppressed).

We as HDP strongly condemn the massacre against the young people whose show their

internationalist solidarity for Kobani and its resisting peoples against the ISIL.

The ISIL's activities in Turkey and AKP Government's tolerance for ISIL members caused many

civil casualties in Turkey like Hatay/Reyhanl Attack on 11 May 2013 and Diyarbakir Attack on 5 June

2015. It is clear that, Turkey and its borders has turned into logistical base and militia crossing gate

for ISIL for 3 years. Additionally Turkish Intelligence's (MIT) hundreds of trucks which full of the arms

and military equipments have been dissembled by the government and the divulgers (prosecutors

and gendarmerie officers) have been arrested due to the preventing the arm transmitting operation

to Syria.

Our party and peoples of Turkey are aware that AKP Government has big responsibility to

encouraging the ISIL and rising civil casualties in Syria, Iraq and Turkey as well. We as HDP calls

international public opinion to react for AKP Government's irrational approaches that causing civil

casualties in the Middle East. In this regard, HDP call all the democratic and progressive parties and

NGOs to show their solidarity for the young victims in Suru.

Respectfully yours,

Nazmi GR

Vice Co-Chair of HDP in Charge of Foreign Affairs
