Today 19 of July 5 years that the autonomy of Rojava was declared. The revolutionary
process that has been developing and expanding since then is a valuable learning process
for the entire world, and we want to commemorate this day from the Internationalist
Commune of Rojava. Source: Rojava Azadî. ---- When we study the reality that surrounds us,
it is important to understand how the events that precede us affect our lives and our
societies. It is important to commemorate those events where organized people manage to
write the history of their own fist, and July 19 is a significant day in various
revolutionary processes that have taken place in different parts of the world. ---- The 19
of July of 1936, in territory administered by the Spanish state in the south of Europe,
began a popular uprising to respond to the coup d'etat hardened by the military forces of
the Spanish state. The army sought to impose totalitarianism against popular organizations
that had established themselves in the country, and which initiated revolutionary
socialist processes. The civil war that followed the next 3 years was an important chapter
for the history of revolutions and internationalism. Socialist militants from different
European countries came to Spain in the form of international brigades, to support the
revolutionary process that was taking place and to face the fascism that was growing on
the continent. The model of cooperative economy that was developed,
Unfortunately, internal divisions weakened the revolutionary movement, and the military
support of the fascist states led by Musolini and Hitler was far superior to that offered
by the internationalist revolutionary forces. The military alliance forged between the
fascist states of Spain, Italy and Germany reached the decisive military victory against
the People's Army, and the fascist axis began the second world war that devastated Europe.
On July 19, 1979, in Nicaragua, the Final Offensive of the Sandinista National Liberation
Front succeeded in defeating the dictatorship of the Somoza family, achieving a decisive
military victory in Managua, capital of Nicaragua. The agrarian reform and the deep labor
of education and literacy that developed with the democratic government, after the victory
of the revolutionary movement, was a great improvement of the life of the Nicaraguan
popular classes. Along with the Marxist-Leninist organizations that led the revolution,
the liberation theology movement was of great importance, making the religious population
connect with socialist ideas and revolutionary culture. The support he received from
revolutionary organizations around the world,

Unfortunately, the US imperialism led by Ronald Reagan, was dedicated to organizing and
financing the counterrevolution, led by former Somoza leaders. The economic embargo
imposed by the United States together with the constant military aggression meant the
weariness and suffocation of the Sandinista movement and revolutionary processes. After
years of resistance, the counterrevolutionary movement achieved a decisive electoral
victory in 1990 that put an end to the FSLN government.
On July 19, 2012, in Syrian-administered territory in the Middle East, Rojava's
self-administration declared autonomy that led to the disconnection with the Assad regime
in the Kurdish majority area. The civil war in the region since 2011 had polarized society
between supporters of the Assad regime and its detractors, but the Kurdish population and
other ethnic minorities opted for a third way. The declaration of autonomy began in a
process of social revolution inspired by the democratic confederalism paradigm developed
by Abdullah Öcalan. The embargo and the constant aggressions of the Turkish state made the
revolution difficult, but the communal economy model and the cooperative system allowed
the economic development necessary to survive.
Unfortunately, the eruption of Daesh on Syrian terrain in 2014 seriously endangered the
revolution of Rojava, when theocratic fascism besieged the city of Kobane. But the
revolutionary experience of the PKK, which had already achieved a major military victory
against the Daesh in Sinjar, endowed the ideology and military training movement needed to
liberate the city. The siege of Kobane meant the internationalization of the conflict,
where in addition to the support of the international coalition formed to combat the
daesh, a large number of internationalists from all over the world added to defend the
revolution of Rojava. The military victory of the YPG / YPJ against the Islamic state in
January 2015 began a process of expansion of the revolution, creating the federation of
northern Syria. The offensive against Raqqa,
As revolutionaries and internationalists, it is important that we remember the historical
legacy that precedes us, that we analyze it and that we can learn lessons that tomorrow
will guide us towards victory. These dates are important days in the river of the history
of revolutionary movements, and it is important that they do not fall into oblivion. We
must remember the history that has led us to this day, to learn from the successes and
mistakes of these historical moments and to defend the revolutionary processes that will
come in the future.
From the Internationalist Commune of Rojava, we call on the revolutionary people of the
whole world to be part of this revolution. The hegemony of capitalist modernity leads us
to submission and individual passivity, trying to make us believe that "there is no
alternative". We must become aware of our collective potential and face the capitalist
modernity that dominates the world. The revolution that followed the popular uprising of
Spain in 1936 was defeated by fascism. The revolution that followed the victory of the
1979 Nicaraguan Sandinista army was suffocated by imperialism. But the Revolution of
Rojava is today stronger than ever, and it is our duty as internationalists and as
revolutionaries to fight to defend it.

Also on Wednesday, the Brigade July 19 , which is part of Rojava visiting the area and
disseminating the processes that are taking place there, is holding a commemorative and
dissemination event in La Ingobernable [Madrid].

Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots will be able to live freely and peacefully only if a
massive anti-imperialist and class movement develops. A movement that will fight and carry
out an unwavering struggle to isolate the fascist supporters of the partition, to leave
the guarantor forces, all the armies and Anglo-American bases, for a free and independent
Cyprus, for the prospect of social liberation . ---- 43 years since the fascist coup ----
On July 15, 1974, the junta in Greece, in cooperation with the fascist gang of EOKA B 'in
Cyprus, under the roof of the Union slogan with Greece, attempted with a military coup to
overthrow the Cypriot government and To murder Makarios. ---- It was not the plans of some
fugitives or some local nationalists who mistakenly judged the political circumstances,
but we can now prove that we are talking about a US-led plan that was assigned to the
fascists of the junta and EOKA B to carry it out.
The tragic consequences of this intervention are known: Arrests, torture and murder of
left and progressive people who resisted, A coup d'état and the best reason for Turkey to
invade Cyprus 5 days later and to continue its murderous work, having since that time
occupied 37% of the territory of Cyprus.
These troubles have been brought to us by imperialist antagonisms and conflicting
nationalisms that have been steadily rising since the 1950s.
Yet in the past years the situation was very different. In the 1940s, the left led the
anti-colonial struggle, having even been killed in protests by colonial police. At that
time, bi-communal class struggles began to develop. A typical example of the general
strike of public workers in March 1944. The result of the strike was to earn workers the
Automatic Indexing Index, the ATA institution.
The civil war in Greece intensifies ideological conflict and political segregation in the
Greek Cypriot community. The nationalists set up an organization X in Cyprus, according to
the standards in Greece that had headed Griva. The chicks in Cyprus attempted to
intimidate the left and collaborated with the colonial police to crack down on the guilds.
In 1948, the biggest and most fierce strikes took place in Cyprus with the participation
of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot workers. The right-wing guilds and the chitts
strengthened the cracks, the police were shooting strikers of miners, while autonomous
groups of workers responded with dynamite! At that time arrests, trials and imprisonment
of strikers took place.
The point of reference then to the massive anti-colonial and class mobilizations was the
demand for "complete self-government" expressed by the left, gathering the most radical
elements from the two communities.
The move of AKEL to the slogan "union union only", abandoning the evolutionary approach it
had previously, and its reluctance to support dynamic forms of resistance, leaves the
field open to the church and the right wing to take over the hegemony of the anti-colonial
struggle . The culmination of these developments is the arrival of Grivas in Cyprus, after
Makarios's call, to lead an armed struggle with a view to union with Greece and the
establishment of EOKA.
Clearly since then the goal of Griva and his agents was the extermination of the left. On
the other hand, however, EOKA participated in pure fighters with anti-colonial motives
that collided with the Bolsheviks and fell into battle or hung up. Kyriakos Matsis, for
example, had stated: "I do not care whether this land is living by Turks, Greeks, Jews.
What is of value is that those who water it with their sweat and walk on it free, its
masters, will have it. "
The response of the nationalists to the Turkish Cypriot community is the establishment of
the TMT, a paramilitary organization formed by Rauf Denktash and the Turkish military
Rizha Vouruskan in 1958 and aimed at partitioning. In the same year, leftists were
murdered in the two communities with the trash of the traitor. The English exploit the
conjuncture and incite ethnic conflicts.
In 1960, with the enactment of the Zurich-London agreements, a state protectorate was
created. These agreements put into operation a series of clocks that in the next few years
would damp Cyprus in the blood. They put the new state under the tutelage of the
"guarantor powers" of Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The system of governance of
the State of Zurich was extremely dysfunctional and contributed to ethnic competition and
segregation.
Under these conditions, Britain retains to date 5% of the Cypriot territories in its
possession, and in these territories it develops military bases that serve as a base and
behind the NATO wars in other countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.
In 1963, the political crisis created by the Makarios proposals for a change of
constitution and the refusal of the Turkish Cypriot leadership to accept them turned into
an armed bicommunal conflict. In those hostilities, the "fascist" and subsequent Sampson
coup d'etat "mastered", with massacres of Turkish Cypriots in various villages such as
Omorimita.
And the Turkish Cypriot classes dominated the propaganda of partition by the fascists of
Denktash and TMT. This policy required the Turkish Cypriots to cut off any cooperation,
transaction and even contact with the Greek Cypriots. This policy was promoted by the
ruling civilian-military circles in Turkey (Special War Office) and aimed at the ethnic /
geographical segregation of Cyprus through the creation of "pockets" Which the Macedonian
government on its own side favored and normalized.
Against the nationalists, many Turkish Cypriots, trade unionists and Communists strongly
resisted the peaceful coexistence and solidarity between the two communities and paid
their lives for many times.
In June 1964, the Greek government of George Papandreou appointed Chief of the Supreme
Military Administration of Cyprus Defense, Griva, and sent him to Cyprus (he had returned
to Greece after the independence of Cyprus). At the same time, the mission, with all
secrecy, of military forces in Cyprus, of the notorious "Cyprus Division", begins to
"shield the Greek defense plans". Grivas, with his descent in Cyprus, took over as head of
the National Guard with the consent of Makarios.
The real goal, of course, of the mission of Grivas and his Division in Cyprus was not
"defense". As revealed today by US State Archives documents, the descent of Griva and the
division in Cyprus was decided with the incitement of the United States and the tolerance
of Turkey. The main mission of the division was to avert the risk of Communist rule in Cyprus.
That same year, the Turkish Air Force, pretending, bombarded the area of Tillyria
threatening with military intervention. Turkey's interventions with the tolerance and
disguised support of the Nato circles, Were denounced by Ernesto Che Guevara on 11
December 1964 from the UN General Assembly.
It was the time when America's Minister of Foreign Affairs Acheson proposed a solution to
partition by joining a piece of the island with Greece and the northern piece with Turkey.
Makarios rejects it, is accused of abandoning the slogan of the Union and at the same time
seeking an alliance with the Union and Egypt.
In November 1967, after the operation of Griva in the villages of Kofinou, Agios Theodoros
and the death of 25 Turkish Cypriots, Turkey's invasion of the island was prevented only
in return for the withdrawal of the Greek division from Cyprus and the recall of Griva in
Greece. In 1971, the junta again sent back Griva to Cyprus, who is secretly going to
organize EOKA II.
The funding and armament of the fascist gang was provided by legendary junta soldiers
through the National Guard, as well as by businessmen carrying out CIA plans. Bombs of
bombings, kidnappings, political assassinations and sabotage in general by the junta's
organs in Cyprus are on the agenda. The fascists of EOKA B have the aim of merging - a
union of Cyprus with the Greek junta.
Makarios originally does not openly break with the Colonels, but tries to keep distances.
But when the colonel is tightened, he sends an ultimatum to Gyzikis, requesting the
withdrawal of Cypriot officers. The junta's response is the organization and execution of
the coup.
Grivas died in January 1974 and did not manage to live the coveted coup he was organizing.
(Evidence from the three projects). The actions of the nationalists gave Turkey the right
opportunity to invade Cyprus on the pretext of protecting the Turkish Cypriot community
and to do what promised the American plans for partitioning the island.
43 years later, coupans have not simply been unpunished, but they have been enjoying for
many years, positions in public and governmental mechanisms such as army and police. And
not only that, but some of them are owners of TV channels, hotels, right-wing and
right-wing parties.
The organization and legitimacy of nationalist and neo-Nazi parties praising the action of
the ego, Makes the situation even more explosive with tolerance and cover-up of all other
parties. The concerted effort to disintegrate and heroinize murderous couples is not of
course limited to these parties, since couples are now housed politically even in the DISY
government party. We do not forget, of course, that the President of Democracy, Nikos
Anastasiadis, was a lawyer of members of the eco b.
Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots will be able to live freely and peacefully only if a

Tad and Tro are two students of Armenian origin prosecuted by the French courts for "
voluntary violence with premeditation or ambush ". One for throwing pomegranate juice on
the Turkish ambassador in France in March 2015, the other for having filmed the scene.
Their spectacular action was aimed at denouncing the Turkish state's denial of the
Armenian genocide, as well as the massive violations of human rights by Ankara. They need
our support. ---- 102 years ago, Turkey was guilty of the genocide of the Armenians. These
crimes have so far remained unpunished. Today, two French activists of Armenian descent
claiming justice, are prosecuted by the French justice. ---- What have they done to
deserve this ? ---- The facts of which they are accused are, for one, of having thrown
red-colored water on the ambassador of Turkey in March 2015 and, on the other, of having
broadcast the scene on social networks . After forty-eight hours of police custody, these
activists will be tried on October 17, 2017 for " voluntary violence with premeditation
or ambush ".
If the " violence " represented by this jet of water is only symbolic, the violence of
the Turkish State is quite real. In 1915, the Turkish state planned and implemented the
extermination of 1.5 million people, one third of the Armenian population living on its
territory. The genocide of the Armenians was accompanied by a policy of dispossession of
the property of the victims, followed by the destruction of the places of collective life,
heritage and culture of Armenians in Turkey. These crimes have remained until today
without punishment.
Read: "Armenia 1915: Nationalism as a Fact of a Deadly Identity", Alternative Libertarian,
June 2015.
The "new sultan" Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the bard of an Islamist, imperialist and
persecuting minority state.
We say it today: violence is on the side of the Turkish state.
Yet it is the activists of the Armenian cause who are being prosecuted in France, although
the Turkish state, which sponsored the killings of three Kurdish militants, Sakine Cansiz,
Fidan Dogan and Leyla Saylemez in Paris in 2013, Never been worried. This while the French
Republic continues to maintain strong trade and diplomatic ties with Turkey, without ever
questioning the latter's responsibility in the genocide of the Armenians of 1915 or in its
current criminal policy.
Instead of pursuing activists of the Armenian cause on its soil, France must stop
encouraging the intolerable actions of this criminal state.
A symbolic and necessary gesture
The symbolic gesture of these two students took place in a French university, a place that
can not leave room for the falsifiers of History. This denunciatory approach must break
the wall of silence imposed on the citizens of Turkey and the Armenians of the world.
Indeed, the negationism of the Turkish state is manifest only where the Armenians are, as
if the executioner of a century ago wanted to finish his work by nullifying or
discrediting the voice carried by those who struggle For the truth.
This gesture is a warning signal denouncing the waves of fierce repression affecting all
circles of Turkish society. Students, trade unionists, journalists, lawyers, academics,
humanists and opponents of the regime, and all those who hold the hope of a democratic and
fairer society are now more than ever the targets of the Turkish state.
This gesture reflects the exasperation of a generation in the face of the systematic
refusal of the Turkish state to confront its history and to repair the crimes it has
committed and perpetuated. Indeed, it is carrying out a policy of apartheid against the
Armenian, Kurdish and Alevisian populations.
On March 2, 2015, the Ambassador of Turkey to France was sprayed with pomegranate juice at
a conference on secularism at the Paris-Descartes University.

Impunity is mother of crime and new impunity
The city of Diyarbakir has been in a state of siege for more than a year, surrounded by
armored vehicles and the destruction of its historic center, and a large part of the city,
By the Turkish armed forces shall be accompanied by the execution of any person on their
way without distinction. People are caught in the trap of a conflict whose sole initiator
is President Erdogan. As impunity is the mother of crime and new impunity, that of the
Turkish state for its past crimes encourages its present abuses.
In Turkey, today more than 200 writers are in prison and hundreds of students have
suffered the same fate ; We do not forget them. Hrant Dink, a Turkish journalist of
Armenian descent, was murdered 10 years ago, a victim of Turkish nationalism, for having
campaigned for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
Selahattin Demirtas, co-president of the People's Democratic Party (HDP), the third party
in the Turkish National Assembly, has been held in pre-trial detention since November,
representing the voice of the only counter-power with the ability to oppose the President
Erdogan and the threat he poses to the rights of peoples living in Turkey.
Ayse Acinikli and Ramazan Demir, lawyers and defenders of the freedoms, were imprisoned
for practicing their profession, which earned them the qualification of " terrorist ".
Like other magistrates, lawyers, trade unionists, journalists, academicians from Turkey,
victims of an instrumentalization of the justice of their country, they are still pursued
today. Garo Paylan MPP of the HDP, was excluded from Parliament for " daring " to
pronounce the word " genocide " concerning the Armenians.
Read: "Armenian Genocide: A Century of State Negationism", Alternative Libertarian, May 2015.
While these two activists will be tried for defending a just cause, before a man whose
function led him to deny a mass crime committed against the Armenians, and to reaffirm
their solidarity with those fighting for their rights in Turkey, More than ever necessary
to recall that we must not yield to the intimidation of States and that only resistance to
repression will make our strength.
Let us make this trial, the symbol of the struggle of two Frenchmen of Armenian descent,
descendants of the victims of the genocide and who today demand justice in front of a
negationist state. Let us hope that October 17, 2017 is a strong date in the Armenian
cause as well as in that of all oppressed peoples.
For this reason let us be numerous and numerous
on October 17, 2017 at 1 pm,
at the Tribunal of Nanterre
to support them during their trial !

It is a relatively well known historical episode: the dissolution of the Russian
Constituent Assembly on 5 January 1918 was carried out under the pressure of Kaiser
Anatoly Jelezniakov ... with obviously the endorsement of the Bolshevik power. ---- The
anarchist Jelezniakov disperses the Constituent Assembly from Alternative Libertarian on
Vimeo . ---- Dans la nuit du 5 au 6 janvier 1918, après seulement douze heures de session,
le pouvoir bolchevik, approuvé par ses alliés anarchistes et SR de gauche, fait disperser
l'Assemblée constituante. Celle-ci vient d'annuler plusieurs décisions du IIe congrès des
soviets, tenu en octobre 1917. ---- Assemblées concurrentes, la Constituante et le congrès
des soviets sont élues sur des bases très différentes: la Constituante l'est au suffrage
universel, dans toutes les classes sociales; le congrès des soviets ne comporte que des
députés élus dans les usines et les régiments.
Pour les anarchistes, la légitimité politique revient au congrès des soviets... même si,
par la force des choses, il est dominé par le gouvernement bolchevik auquel ils sont hostiles.
Les Parti bolchevik, lui, avait tellement réclamé la convocation d'une Assemblée
constituante entre février et octobre qu'une fois au pouvoir, il n'a pu faire autrement
que d'en organiser l'élection. Le quotidien anarchiste de Petrograd, «Bourevestnik», avait
alors condamné une décision «contradictoire, extrêmement nuisible et dangereuse».
Sans surprise, le scrutin donne une large majorité de députés modérés, principalement SR
et mencheviks.
La Constituante ne siégera cependant qu'une unique journée. Le 6 janvier, à 4h40 du matin,
le commandant de la garde du palais de Tauride, l'anarchiste Anatoli Jelezniakov, avec
l'aval du chef bolchevik Dybenko, vient donc taper sur l'épaule du président de
l'Assemblée constituante, Viktor Tchernov, et lui intime l'ordre de lever la séance.
Le pays se montrant indifférent à ce coup de force, la Constituante ne sera plus autorisée
à se réunir. Une semaine plus tard, le IIIe congrès des soviets approuvera ce coup de
force, affirmant sa légitimité contre celle de la Constituante.
Dans la réalité, c'est surtout le gouvernement bolchevik qui a désormais les coudées franches.
