German message of solidarity with the struggle of the Turkish people against police violence and for a peaceful foreign policy

The Working Circle for Peace Policy who has been hosted by the Peace Association of Turkey as participant of the recent  Peace Conference in Istanbul and Antakya, co-sponsered by World Peace Council, wishes to confirm its solidarity with the Turkish Peace Association and its struggle for a peaceful foreign policy, a policy compatible with the standards of democracy and international law. We are with you in your struggle to stop your government's attitudes of aggression against your neighborly country Syria, a policy which is unfortunately  shared by our government and the EU and NATO. As you, we are hoping that the double standards with respect to Human Rights will no longer be upheld. The recent uprising of the people of Istanbul due to the police violence  on Gezi Park will make visible to the world that  neither  a Turkey ruled by Erdogan nor the Western World  in general, nor any other country  have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of Syria. We need respectively to overcome the undemocratic policies, the violations of our constitutions in our home countries. May peace prevail. Let us join hands for our common struggle.
