Terrorist Attack Linked To Turkey’s Syria Policies
Kadri Gursel argues that Revolutionary Peoples’ Liberation Party-Front [DHKP-C] suicide bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara is a response to Turkey’s policies in Syria.
The terror attack against the U.S. Embassy in Ankara on Friday is a boomerang effect of Turkey’s Syria policy that has targeted Turkey more than the United States.
The clearest clue to is this the political content of the statement by Revolutionary Peoples’ Liberation Party-Front [DHKP-C] claiming responsibility for the attack that killed an embassy security guard and the suicide bomber.
Leaving aside classical mottos of “anti-USA and imperialism,” the following expressions targeting Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government places the terror attack in its current context:
“Syrian people decide how Syria will be governed and by whom. Syrian collaborationist looters are trained and armed on our land and are sent back to massacre Syrian people. Syrian people are brothers of Turkish people. We don’t want our land to be used for interests of imperialists. The No. 1 enemy of the people of the world is America. Therefore, to support those resisting America is the primary duty of revolutionaries and people of the world.”
