MLCP is the party that gives comradeship-in-arms a practice, and it is a party that has managed to become aware of the fact that those falling in the revolutionary struggle in the other countries had fought for the same ideals as the martyrs of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan. It is the party that has understood that the world revolution will only be realised only through this way and who has fought for it.

On November 4, 1994 while hanging up a banner introducing our party, comrade Erdal Balci, an 18-year-old proletarian, party activist and militant was brutally killed by the armed forces of fascism. He had stepped on that bridge to introduce MLCP-F to the proletariat of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, and he waters the heaven with his blood becoming a light to his comrades and being bound to the revolution and socialism. Death comes up in the struggle of the party or in prison, and he physically left us by giving a message with his body when hanging up a banner on a bridge dedicating his body to the freedom of the Kurdish people on a sunny Newroz morning. For this reason, when commemorating the party and revolutionary martyrs every November, the fire he sparked for us never loses its meaning for us.
Comrade Erdal who had taken over the flag from Mustafa Suphi , Deniz, Mahir, Irfan Celik, Adil Can, Hayrabet Honca, from the Six, from comrade Huseyin, our north-star, and handed it over to us.
Due to its international structure, our party MLCP considers it as its duty to commemorate the world revolutionary martyrs. When talking about international martyrs of the struggle for revolution and socialism, comrade Ali Bugun comes to our mind as the most concrete example. Ali Bugun, who was also detained in different prisons of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, and later on in Syria for several years, reached his freedom in 2003. Without losing time, he took over the duty to develop the international relations of the party and to introduce the party in the Middle East, he translated the party's publications into Arabic, and he didn't let the comrades feel how severely ill he was, instead he determinedly tried to fulfil his duties.
While MLCP is proudly waving its flag of proletarian internationalism, the party also commemorates the revolutionary martyrs of the whole world. We won't forgot the leaders of scientific socialism, first of all Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, as well as Clara Zetkin of the spokeswomen of the proletarian women's movement, Rosa Luxemburg of the top leaders of the workers' party of Germany and Poland, Georgi Dimitrov, who was defending the united front against fascism in an influential way, Ernesto, the free spirit of the new mankind and the revolution, Bobby Sands, symbol of the prisons' resistances, Carlo Giuliani, whose name has become a flag in the anti-imperialist struggle, and the brave leaders of the peoples of the Middle East George Habash and Abu Ali Mustafa.
Commemorating the martyrs means to try to become like them, it might be the case that not everyone becomes a Marx or Engels, but everyone can contribute to the development of the revolutionary movement by understanding the Marxist theory, and by that develop the struggle of the party. Maybe not everyone can be like Stalin, but by supporting the oppressed peoples' struggle, everyone can play a decisive role in their liberation. Everyone must always find the strength in himself to be ready to organise a people's revolt as Hasan Ocak did. Everyone must be ready to sacrifice him/herself for the ideals as Ali Haydar Gocer. To be like Ernesto, whose pictures are decorating the houses and offices of many organisations, to support the struggle in his own country, but at the same time to feel the pain of what happens in the other countries in the deep of your heart. We will reach our aims as much as we won't forget their lives, struggles and ideals and convey them to the new generations. We must show a firm reaction against imperialism attacking our martyrs, and its attacks to let the martyrs' struggle be forgotten. We must defend all our values in the same way as the Che t-shirts worn all over the world are a reaction shown against imperialism. We must put them in the centre of our live. They're not only our values but at the same time of the whole world's oppressed. This is the way it must be understood and it must be struggled to make them meet with the worlds' oppressed. Never having forgotten its martyrs and having put their fight in the centre of its struggle as well as defending them against all attacks of fascism and imperialism are the reasons for MLCP reaching the level today. The blood our martyrs did not hesitate to lose has been the grout of the unyielding will of MLCP. MLCP is the party that gives comradeship-in-arms a practice, and it is a party that has managed to become aware of the fact that those falling in the revolutionary struggle in the other countries had fought for the same ideals as the martyrs of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan. It is the party that has understood that the world revolution will only be realised only through this way and who has fought for it.
This is the November call of MLCP. The martyrs' month November's message and call on the working class and labourer masses as well as the aim of the commemorations of the martyrs during the whole month is to strengthen and proceed in the fight for the revolution and socialism.
