Joint Statement of Turkish,Greek and Cypris Peace Movement


 We call upon our peoples to oppose and to shout:

No to another imperialist war in our neighborhood!
No involvement in the crime against our neighbors, the Syrian People.
No land, no water to the Murderers of the Peoples!
Close down all military bases!
Our three Peace Movements reaffirm our commitment to coordinate our struggle with the holding of the 4thTrilateral meeting which be held this year on October 19-20 in Chania/Crete, close to the US/NATO Souda Base.




 The peace and anti-imperialist Movements of Turkey, Cyprus and Greece join their voices and condemn in the most intense way the final preparations by the imperialists for another predatory war in our region. We once again strongly denounce the well-organized blood-soaked plan that has been set up and executed for more than two years now and has provoked an unprecedented massacre of our neighbouring Syrian People, under the well-known slogan of promoting democracy.
 We specifically state that the fundamental cause of these dramatic developments regarding Syria are the imperialists’ designs, and more specifically of the USA and NATO, to impose changes in line with the concrete plans for the "New Middle East". In this murderous war-game, apart from the USA, a significant and decisive role is being played by Turkey, NATO as an organisation, various reactionary Gulf monarchies and the EU all searching for a share of the loot.
 The WPC and our Peace movements have for a long time been revealing and exposing to our peoples the escalation plans of the last year, with the active participation of Government of Turkey, as the country has been used as a springboard for the preparation and infiltration of armed gangs while NATO Patriot Missiles have also been installed near the Turkish-Syrian borders. These days logistical help is being facilitated through the foreign Military bases in Greece and Cyprus, converting the respective governments in accomplices in the imperialist criminal plans.
 Syria represents for imperialism and its allies a central reference point. A possible occupation of Syria and the establishment of another puppet state is related to the control of extremely important strategic energy routes and the encirclement of Iran, which is rich in natural resources, by the forces taking part in the attempt to overthrow the current Syrian regime.
 To fulfil their criminal target they have implemented the final act that paves the way for another unjust imperialist war. The pretext is known from Iraq and elsewhere, their tactic dirty as always - chemical weapons of mass destruction used by the regime. This is an allegation that has not been substantiated, as in previous cases of course. But even the former Hague prosecutor and today member of the UN Commission on inquiry, Carla del Ponte in May 2013 has stated that the "Opposition" forces used chemical gas.
 We further more emphasize the timing of this development. It is not a coincidence that the campaign of aggression against Syria has escalated in the recent days. It can easily be observed that the radical Islamist militant groups have been experiencing defeat after defeat by the Syrian Army. Also these Islamist armed groups have received their most recent defeat with the June Uprisings in Turkey. Additionally the attack is timed at a moment when dialogue and peace can resolve the conflict. It is apparent that the purpose of this is to isolate the Government of Syria from the Geneva Peace Talks. All governments of NATO and EU share responsibility at this moment in relation to the ongoing planned crime against the Syrian people.
 The peace loving forces of Cyprus, Greece and Turkey express their enormous concern about the active involvement of our governments in a war that will bring new tragedies for our peoples. The people of Greece, Turkey and Cyprus denounce by vast majority the imperialist criminal preparations with the active participation of our countries through the use of Military Bases, airports, and other infrastructure.
 We call upon our peoples to oppose and to shout:
No to another imperialist war in our neighborhood!
No involvement in the crime against our neighbors, the Syrian People.
No land, no water to the Murderers of the Peoples!
Close down all military bases!
Our three Peace Movements reaffirm our commitment to coordinate our struggle with the holding of the 4thTrilateral meeting which be held this year on October 19-20 in Chania/Crete, close to the US/NATO Souda Base
