"The social, political and economic problems Turkey is facing are growing like an avalanche. The policies of exploitation, plunder and discrimination of the government lead to the deprivation of all human rights of all oppressed segments of the society, impoverishment and plunder of nature. We can establish a strong union that will grow and give confidence to the society, we can prevent the current oppression regime, we can pave the way for democratic change and transformation. Therefore, we believe that Turkey's democratic, left, socialist and revolutionary forces should ensure a broad partnership of struggle.
In this framework, we came together as the undersigned political structures on January 18, 2022, upon the call of the HDP. We share the decisions we took at this meeting with the public:
To continue the common struggle, to increase and strengthen these struggle grounds,
-Continuing regular meetings in order to determine the common struggle issues and to create the content, method and calendar to implement them,
- We have decided to aim to expand the common struggle, which does not limit itself to the current participation, to include all democratic, left, socialist and revolutionary forces of Turkey.
We will continue to talk about the ways and management of establishing the widest democracy, equal citizenship and struggle partnership with all the oppressed, marginalized, victims, laborers, women, youth and those who struggle for ecology in Turkey. As democratic, left, socialist and revolutionary forces, we are determined to fulfil our social responsibility.
With solidarity, struggle and hope…” (EVRENSEL DAILY)
