 The leadership of the general staff published a new declaration on its website on 8 June at 12.30am in which it called on racist fascist attacks on Kurdish people under the slogan "Mass reflex of opposing the terror". In the declaration, all forces that stand against fascist oppression and the dirty war and demand peace, freedom and democratic rights were threatened: "The Turkish Republic faces an approach which thinks that its national and unitary structure is outdated. Our nation has and must have the necessity to be aware of this dangerous approach." The declaration, which refers to the memorandum on 27 April and aims at deepening the secular-anti secular reactionary polarization on the basis of hostility against the Kurdish people, even liberal intellectuals, who want a bourgeois solution for the Kurdish question, are threatened: "There is no doubt that the terrorist actions that have happened and which increase are the open presentation of this kind of thoughts and of those who support them directly and immediately."
Besides the discussions on cross-border operations, the general staff tried to hide the great number of soldiers killed recently in the operations in Northern Kurdistan in its leaflet and instead makes a call for mass lynching actions and rallies of hostility against Kurdish people. The statement "The expectation of the Turkish Armed Forces is that the holly Turkish nation displays a mass reflex of opposing against this kind of terror actions" shows the intention of the fascist Buyukanit clique to continue with the secular rallies as hostility rallies against the Kurdish people.
The call of the general staff is a call for an inner war and invites to undertake mass lynching. What is demanded is the deepening of the lynching culture and practice, such as it happened before many times and recently in the small city of Sakarya where two young Kurdish men were about to be lynched for wearing t-shirts of the Kurdish singer Ahmet Kaya. The Kurdish people and the whole social opposition are the target of this call. The fascist generals who put Turkey in a period of coups through the memorandum on 27 April now want to let Turkey face a defeat in Iraq under the name of a cross-border operation. They are increasing their efforts to incite Kurdish and Turkish sister people against each other.
Communists call on all progressive, democratic, revolutionary and Kurdish-patriotic forces to unite their demand for peace, brotherhood and freedom in "Rallies and actions of brotherhood" and to demand an account from the fascist aggression with the power they get from these actions.
