For this "terror scenario" the police forces carried long-barreled weapons and they even forced little children to lay down on the ground. The police told the relatives of the arrested, not to call and ask about their relatives for 4 days. To the question why they were arrested, they answered "terrorist activity"... <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>In the course of this police raid four people were arbitrarily arrested: Erdogan Cakir, Nihat Karakaya, Serafettin Sarikaya and Veli Yati. <BR/><BR/>Attacks on democratic institutions are more and more practised in EU- member states. A trait also familiar in Turkey, EU imperialism attacks democratic institutions without giving any reason for it. People are being arrested and tortured. And the French authorities did not even make a statement regarding the aim of this attack. The Anatolian Culture and Solidarity Association published a statement under the headline “The French police is committing a crime”. In this statement it raised the following question: “All this happened in the heart of Europe, in the capital of France, Paris. Especially in France, that wants to give lectures on democracy to the whole world… <BR/><BR/>Why was the Anatolian Culture and Solidarity Association, which had been founded and carries out its activities according to the French laws, raided? Why did the police break the door and lay waste to our association? <BR/><BR/>What is the reason for this state terrorism, which was carried out as if it would be a ‘large anti-terror operation’? <BR/><BR/>The French State has to give account for all these actions and has to apologise for it.” <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>The association, which was raided by the French police, is an institution which defends the rights of migrants from Turkey, where migrants come to find solutions for their problems and where they organise and carry out their struggle. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>This is the reality of the anti-terror campaign: Repression and slander without any legal reason... <BR/><BR/>4 people have been arrested and still remain in prison, while their indictment was created only after the arrest. They are awaiting their trial this month. <BR/><BR/>Let’s PROTEST against all ATTACKS on civil liberties and freedom of opinion. <BR/><BR/>Demand the freedom of these people arbitrarily arrested under the pretext of “Fighting International Terrorism”.March against imperialismnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935255394429695277.post-68024294129649117022008-08-29T13:02:18.209+01:002008-08-29T13:02:18.209+01:00http://www.halkinsesi.tv/<BR/><BR/>At the above website in Turkish, there is an article entitled "Onder Yoldasa Dursun Karatas Cephelirden Selam - Cephe" ("Greetings to our leader Dursun Karatas from Front Supporters - The Front") A youth is spraying this on a wall.

The AK party at this time wishes to be seen as a friend of the Kurds, with local and national elections next year [I think] they are keen to improve on the result they achieved at the last General election in the south east and parts of istanbul.<BR/><BR/>Zaman acts as an AK mouthpiece, such is politics, however given the opportunity should Beşikçi<BR/>have turned the opportunity down. I think not.<BR/><BR/>There is a very revealing part in the interview when the Zaman hack ask's Beşikçi in a round about way,<BR/>who should the Kurds rely on? *<BR/><BR/>Beşikçi replies unequivocally, THE KURDS and by saying this he is also implying certainly not the AKP.<BR/><BR/>Comradely regards<BR/><BR/><BR/>* "Given that there is this stark truth known as the Kurdish issue before us and if, as you said, the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government will not be able to play a healthy role in this issue, who will play this role, then, or who should?"Mick Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07627288401631451362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935255394429695277.post-67380517112757512072008-08-27T19:27:12.967+01:002008-08-27T19:27:12.967+01:00I just wonder why Zaman gave him space at all. This is a daily that was outraged when relatives of DHKP-C leader Dursun Karatas, who died on August 11, were allowed to publish a commemorative message in the Cumhuriyet newspaper, an insert the family paid for. To Zaman, this was not on. Perhaps it was because the insert was not vetted by the counter-insurgency department first. Whereas the Besikci article might actually have been cleared by the appropriate authorities. <BR/><BR/>The Turkish media are so heavily saturated with psychological warfare and black propaganda, and long have been, that it is worth asking why they interview some people, even critically, while complaining at other times even about commemorative items for the recent dead. You say, "surely that's for them". I ask, "Why?"turkishtvwatchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935255394429695277.post-2786260505457780772008-08-27T00:11:49.115+01:002008-08-27T00:11:49.115+01:00anon<BR/><BR/>Funny you said that, as Zaman made it very clear that they do not support or agree with much of what İsmail Beşikçi said in the interview. Zaman obviously has its own reason for publishing the piece, but surly that is for them. Incidentally Ismail was critical of Erdogan's stance on the Kurdish question, which he sees as window dressing.<BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure what your position is, are you saying Beşikçi should refuse to use the mainstream media to get his point across? If so I totally disagree with you.<BR/><BR/>best regardsMick Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07627288401631451362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935255394429695277.post-33598832498930401722008-08-26T20:12:45.642+01:002008-08-26T20:12:45.642+01:00He can't be that radical if Zaman (the AKP house journal) was prepared to interview him at length.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
