Bulletin N°64 2026 The Revolutionary Communist Party has taken note of the repression carried out by the Turkish authorities against demonstrators protesting against the NATO summit in Ankara. We strongly condemn this repression and express our solidarity with the Communist Party of Turkey. Therefore, we have decided to sign the joint appeal of communist parties, which we publish below.
"We, the undersigned communist and workers' parties, strongly condemn the repression carried out by the Turkish authorities against the demonstration organized by the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) in Ankara to protest the NATO summit. The violent police intervention, the injuries inflicted on the demonstrators, and the arrest of 145 communists—including one member of the TKP Central Committee and eight members of the Party Council—constitute an unacceptable attack on the right to organize and demonstrate. The widespread bans on demonstrations and public gatherings, which have effectively turned the Turkish capital into a closed city in the run-up to the NATO summit, reveal once again that NATO's war agenda goes hand in hand with the restriction of political rights and freedoms. The attempt to silence communists cannot obscure the truth: NATO is an aggressive imperialist alliance that has sown war, occupation, destruction, and suffering among the peoples of the world. Those who raise their voices against militarization and interventions Imperialists and wars will not be intimidated by repression. We express our full solidarity with the Communist Party of Turkey, with all arrested TKP members, and with all those who opposed the NATO summit. We demand the immediate release of all detained communists, the dropping of all charges, and an end to all measures restricting political activities hostile to NATO. Hands off the TKP! Hands off all communist and anti-imperialist activists!
