Strategic Alliance: Peoples' United Revolutionary Movement

With the foundation of the guerrilla alliance HBDH five years ago, a strategic alliance of revolutionary organizations from Turkey with the Kurdish liberation movement has emerged.

The Peoples' United Revolutionary Movement (HBDH) was founded five years ago on March 12 as an amalgamation of various organizations from Turkey, fighting both as urban guerrillas and in the mountains of Kurdistan.

Mustafa Suphi is a member of the Central Committee of the DKP/BÖG and addresses the war against the peoples of the region in an assessment of the past five years: "As revolutionaries from Turkey, socialists of an oppressed nation and the Kurdish liberation movement, we have positioned ourselves resolutely against the war of the imperialist capitalist system and against the war that Turkey-fascism is waging for its own goals." In the past five years, he said, it has been shown in practice that the united struggle is not an empty slogan but has led to formation of political and military strength.”

“Through the strategic union of the Kurdish liberation movement and the revolutionary movement of Turkey, the revolutions in Turkey and Kurdistan have been united. With the resulting strength, the Middle East policy of imperialism is facing a serious blow. As revolutionaries, we have positioned ourselves on the frontline in the five-year history of resistance in three parts of Kurdistan and all metropolises of Turkey, conscious of the strategic alliance with the Kurdish liberation movement," Mustafa Suphi said.

This, he said, created an unbreakable line that was underpinned by the defeat of the Turkish army in Gare. He remarked that the Gare resistance had an important significance and showed the failure of the war policy of the rulers in Turkey. The HBDH has gained great political and military experience in the five years of its existence, Suphi added.
