US imperialism's militrism and its development of the method of imperialist war and terror, the increase rivalry for re-sharing among the im-perialist monopolies and states are inevitably sharpening the contradictions among the imperialist states and increasing the danger of imperialist re-sharing war. That is to say that the inter-imperialist contradictions are deepening. The conflicts among the imperialist countries for the re-sharing of the world have reached to the level of occupying the strategic areas and the resources of raw-materials. Imperialism's economic and political enslaving attack deepens the political reactionary. Such increase of financial, economical and political enslaving is intensifying extraordinarily the contradictions among imperialist bourgeoisie and peoples. They are organising counter-revolution and reactionary violence; the colonialism and imperialist aggression in the foreign policy and the internal reaction in at home. They are continuing to surround and wage wars against all kinds of resistance, tends of organising, search for rights and the legitimate struggle, based on the revolutionary violence, of the working class, the peoples and the oppressed.

The imperialist occupation, domination and neoliberal attacks make more convenient the objective conditions of the international proletariat's fight for anti-imperialist, democratic and socialist revolution against imperialism. Today's realities necessitate more than ever the international actions and unity of the revolutionary proletariat, the peoples and the communist vanguards for the victory of revolutions.

The regional federations, as a form of peoples' brotherhood, bear special importance both because of the fore-mentioned reasons and in face of the imperialists' and local bourgeoisies' drive people into chauvinist clashes. This is especially valid for the Middle East-Balkans-Caucasus, the regions where imperialist aggression and wars have been intensified at most for today. Our party defends the democratic federation of our peoples in the region. There is no doubt that, despite the increase of the conditions of the united and internationalist actions, the revolutions will develop in unbalanced manner. Our party, however, puts the peoples' democratic unity as a programme for the revolutions of the people in the region that will not gain victory simultaneously or synchronously, and tries to realize this possible goal.
Starting from the October revolution, the inter-imperialist contradictions and struggles, the capitalism's law of unequal development made and will continue to make possible the revolution in single country, that is to say in the each link of the imperialist chain. In today's conditions, as the imperialist aggression and the developing inter-imperialist contradictions have shown, the possibility of regional revolutions, beside the revolutions in single countries, is also strengthening.

The workers, labourers and youth waged great and intensive mass actions against the US attack and occupation on Afghanistan all over the world. In these demonstrations where a great anger was raised up, millions of people participated in, the US flags were burnt, the masses marched towards the buildings representing the USA. Yes, the imperialist coalition under the leadership of USA has occupied Afghanistan, but could not dominate the country.

The Palestinian Intifada rose again. The Palestinian people did not surrender to the Bush-backed Israeli occupation; on the contrary they have developed an unyielding resistance. Zionism, backed by US imperialism, could not break the Palestinian resistance, the resistance of the oppressed people. Israel did not achieve its goal also during its attack on Lebanon. The occupants who thought that they would be welcomed with flowers in Iraq have been surprised with the resistance. However, there is nothing to be surprised with it: the Iraqi people are defending their homeland against imperialist occupation. Despite its religious motives, the Iraqi resistance is a resistance against the US imperialism. The Palestinian and Iraqi people have shown the way of resistance against imperialist occupation. This struggle must be supported and learnt from. US imperialism or any imperialist country who dare to occupy other countries will come across with new Iraq syndrome.

We should not forget that Palestinian and Iraqi people and now the Lebanese people are at the same time resisting on behalf of the whole people of the world. This is a resistance on behalf of the world working class, oppressed peoples and nations. The resistance slowdowns the aggression of USA and other imperialists forces, prevents their strategic plans and policies; weakens imperialism and plays a dissuasive role before their hegemony and aggression.
First of all, we must create regional anti-imperialist struggle coordinations in the regions where the inter-imperialist contradictions are sharpened at most, together with all forces that can be united against imperialism and fascism; the progressive, anti-imperialist, anti-fascist, revolutionary and communist forces, and we must unite these co-ordinations on the international level. For instance, such platforms must be created within the struggle in Balkans, Middle East, Caucasus and Latin America, where the inter-imperialist contradictions are extemely sharpened today. The co-ordinations must prove themselves within the de facto struggle and they should have the skill to centralize and direct the anti-imperialist struggle in these regions.

Our party considers the development of united action of the progressive, anti-imperialist, revolutionary and communist forces of these regions as one of its important tasks. Our party is of the opinion that it is inevitable for the people of our region to act in common in order to kick out imperialism and liberate the Middle East from imperialist occupation and plunder, the region where the inter-imperialist contradictions are sharpened at most and where the occupation and resistance are seen at the same time. Our party is of the understanding that it is an obligation for us to unite our forces against the same imperialist enemy, the same local collaborators those who oppress and loot all peoples of the region without making distinction whether they are Turkish, Kurdish, Arab or Persian.

Our party is of the understanding that it is the common problem of our peoples to kick out the occupants from our region, and this common problem makes inevitable the common struggle and organisation among our peoples. In our day, the Middle East Anti-imperialist Struggle Coordination is the most suitable form of organisation to reach this goal.

Our party, which struggles in the line of this understanding, was trying for more than two years to bring together in the regional conference the region's communist, revolutionary and progressive forces and to discuss on the opportunities of regional struggle. For this it has carried out bilateral talks with many parties and organisation in the region and discussed on the possibilities. The weakness of the region's parties and organisations on the consistent anti-imperialist line represented a factor that made difficult taking such a step. But our works started giving results in 2006, and our party, PFLP and PDFLP announced through a joint statement that they will hold the Anti-imperialist Struggle Conference of the Middle East. Many parties and organisations from Middle East were invited to the Conference.

The Conference, which was held on 11-12 June 2006, took place by the participation of representatives from Turkey/Northern Kurdistan, Palestine, Iran and Iraq, and also by an organisation interested in anti-imperialist struggle and organised in Austria, Germany and Italy. The Conference pointed out the necessity of founding regional co-ordinations that have the capacity of centralizing and directing the anti-imperialist struggle in order to develop the anti-imperialist struggle in the Middle East, where imperialist occupation and aggression is intensified. The Conference, which stressed that the withdrawal of the occupants from our region is the common problem of our peoples and this problem necessitates the common struggle and organisation among our people, has therefore created the Anti-imperialist Struggle Coordination of the Middle East in order to be an answer in relation to the demand for anti-imperialist, revolutionary struggle in our region.

We are sharing with our readers the documents of the Anti-imperialist Struggle Conference of the Middle East.
