Turkey, DAF's statement about Paris Massacre - The sorrow you live is our sorrow, The rage you feel is our rage
On 13th of November, more than 150 people have lost their lives and tens injured in 7
different neighbourhoods of Paris as a result of coordinated ISIS attacks with bombs and
guns. The murderer ISIS continues its murders outside of the Middle East and Anatolia
regions. The massacre which took place in Paris shows clearly that ISIS terror knows no
bounds. ---- We feel the massacre in Paris deeply and share your sorrow. We have lived and
still living through ISIS attacks supported by the state. From Şengal to Kobane, from
Pirsus (Suruç) to Ankara, we have lost many comrades and friends. We are aware of the fact
that the massacres aim to create fear, distrust and loneliness on us. Our pain is great
and increases every day. In these periods, We have to grow the solidarity against the
murderers that want to bury us into fear, loneliness and isolation.
We see the simultaneous moves of the french state and other states aiming to direct the
process. We know that these same strategies are realized in our region under the name of
"Fight against Terror". In this environment of distrust, people have a psychology of panic
which is directed by the ideological devices of the state; the state oppression of
revolutionaries and state politics restricting the freedom of the oppressed will be
politically legitimized; and the racist discourse and politics will increase. The states
use these extraordinary periods for their political, economic and social interests.
We understand the situation that the peoples living in France are and will be in. We know
the difficulty of carrying on one side the sorrow of the lost ones and on the side,
struggling against the fascist mobilisations in the society created by the state. We
stress that, even with this hardship, the struggle should be against the fear, the state
and fascism.
The sorrow you live is our sorrow, The rage you feel is our rage, your fight is our fight!
