Çankaya: AKP-MHP government is responsible for Paris killings
The Honorary President of the Austrian Alevi Unions Federation, Mehmet Ali Çankaya, commemorated the Paris martyrs and said that the AKP-MHP government is responsible for the killings.
In a magnificent ceremony in the Parisian suburb Villers-le-Belle, Kurds and their friends bid farewell to KCK Executive Council Member Emine Kara (Evîn Goyî), Mîr Perwer (Mehmet Şirin Aydın) from the Cultural Movement, and Kurdish patriot Abdurrahman Kızıl, who were killed in an armed attack at Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Centre on December 23.
The Honorary President of the Austrian Alevi Unions Federation, Mehmet Ali Çankaya, offered his condolences to the Kurdish people in a speech at the farewell ceremony. Çankaya said: “They have started to do in Europe what they have already been doing in Turkey. Ten years ago, they killed Sakine and other female politicians in Paris and they have just killed three more Kurds. It is not a coincidence that the murderers are those who persecute the Kurdish people.”
Çankaya remarked: “As the Alevi people, we are always on the side of the oppressed because of our faith.” He added: “This massacre is not an act of a drunken or an ignorant man in France, but an organized massacre in cooperation with the AKP-MHP government. It was carried out to intimidate the Kurdish people and to suppress their struggle.”
'WE CAN PREVENT MASSACRES TOGETHER'
Çankaya pointed out that: “Alevi people condemn these massacres and violence, and we respectfully commemorate the people who paid the price for this cause. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last one. The despotic Turkish state focuses on stopping the Kurdish struggle in concert with the imperialist countries. We need to cooperate with the struggle of this people against destruction. If we can't carry out a common struggle to put an end to the fascist mentality, we will meet in prisons! We believe that we should get together without fear to get rid of the current Turkish government. The future may be more painful. Therefore, we should not be afraid. The same atrocities could also be done to the Alevi people. What was done to the Alevi people in Maraş, Sivas, Çorum massacres was also a state project. We should repel the Turkish attacks together.”
