THE STATE CANNOT WHITEWASH ITSELF THROUGH COUNTERFEIT OPERATIONS
The Susurluk state is the murderer of the Ugur Mumcus, the Bahriye Ucoks, the Muammer Aksoys and the A. Taner Kislalis
The Susurluk State, which has carried out a number of operations recently saying it “is bringing to light those who have carried out massacres”, is trying to free its image from the lack of confidence created among the people by Susurluk and the burden of the murders by unknown perpetrators.
Today, these operations are particularly being carried out with the aim on the one hand of FREEING the Susurluk state FROM THE IMAGE AS A “MURDERER”, while creating an image of democratisation, on the other hand TO SUPPORT THE ENCIRCLEMENT OF IRAN WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE USA’S OPERATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
With these operations, staged scenarios and lies, the Susurluk State is not able to obscure the truth that the state is the murder of Ugur Mumcus, the Bahriye Ucoklars, the Muammer Aksoys and the A. Taner Kislalis.
The state’s aim with these massacres; to hinder the development of the revolutionary struggle by means of provocations, to confuse the revolutionary struggle through its demagogy of “left-wing terror, right-wing terror” and attack the struggle of the people for rights and freedom, with the literature of “terror” to make this seem legitimate. Yesterday the state tried to conceal the truth of the state’s own responsibility for massacres by shouting that the killing of Muammer Aksoy “is the work of Dev-Sol”; somehow it is announcing now that it has found the “real killers”. They lied yesterday and they are also lying today.
Nobody should deceive themselves. Nobody should become a part of the Susurluk State’s plans to whitewash its operations. No value should be attached to pompous phrases that this operation “by unknown perpetrators has now been brought to light…” Everything is completed in a form personally planned and brought to life by the USA and the Susurluk State.
The intention of the contra-guerilla state is once again to try and use the cover of “democracy”. The process started with the Hizbullah operations and is completed with the staged “catching” of the killers of the Ugur Mumcus, the Bahriye Ucoklars, the Muammer Aksoys and the A. Taner Kislalis.
This is the real reason why even the worst scribblers of the oligarchy announce the lies of “the confidence of the people in the state and the police is renewed” , “we are getting rid of the doubts in our minds” , “we are embracing the state of law that we were missing and expecting”. The state, which was exposed before the millions who did not trust it, wants to
guarantee its survival and keep the manipulated masses within the borders of its regime.
While the domestic target of the operation is what we mentioned above, another aim is to advance the plans of the USA in the Middle East aimed at completely encircling Iran. With scenarios that are conjured up and theories that would cause jealousy among the writers of detective stories, the responsibility for massacres is being transferred to “external forces”. The USA has given its collaborator Turkey the mission of “Trojan horse” in the area, and is using it for its own local aims. So that even though the weapons and explosives were made in the USA, the theory of how these were brought into Turkey through Iran was put forward and the good relations between Iran and the USA before the Islamic revolution given as the
explanation. Such comical theories about the contra-guerrilla activities in our country, which are in fact personally carried out by US imperialism and the oligarchy, do not suffice to cover up the truth. Let no-one be deceived…
The Susurluk State is a contra-guerrilla state and this state is directly responsible for thousands of murders by unknown perpetrators, mass murders like March 16, May Day 1977, Maras, Sivas and Gazi, hundreds of disappearances, torture, repression and attacks. SO WHATEVER WAS ONE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER, WHETHER IT WAS THIS “HITMAN” OR THAT “HITMAN” WHO WAS USED, DOES NOT CHANGE THE STATE’S ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY. Today it does not change the truth of the state’s responsibility when claims are made about this or that “hitman” who was armed and used and carried out massacres. The truth of Susurluk and all the filth and contra activities connected with the Susurluk State CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN… “500 billion in secret payments”, Mehmet Agar’s “We carried out a thousand secret operations… I did everything with the knowledge of the state… Decisions were taken in the
National Security Council”… These words CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN…
Just as Susurluk cannot be said to be about three or five gangs, mafia and police chiefs; the “arrest” of three or five Hizbullah supporters, Tevhids and “fighters for Jerusalem” does not mean that the killers of the Ugur Mumcus, Bahriye Ucoks, Muammer Aksoys and A. Taner Kislalis have been caught.
All those who claim to be intellectuals, democrats, revolutionaries: the murderous face OF THE SUSURLUK STATE cannot be hidden, permission cannot be given for the SUSURLUK STATE to deceive the people, a struggle must be waged for true justice and for the truth to be revealed that behind the massacres is US imperialism and the Oligarchy of Turkey which is its collaborator.
