TKP General Secretary Kemal Okuyan addressed the crowd, who chanted slogans such as \u201cNATO get out, this country is ours\u201d, \u201cMurderer NATO, collaborator AKP\u201d and \u201cConfiscate the bases, get rid of NATO\u201d throughout the march.<\/p>\n

\u201dMenderes is an Enemy of the People\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n In his speech, Okuyan criticized Turkey's entry into NATO and the Democrat Party period, and reacted to the presentation of Adnan Menderes as a \u201chero of democracy\u201d. Arguing that Turkey was pushed into US dependency between 1950-1960, Okuyan said the following:<\/p>\n \u201cBetween 1950 and 1960, the US influence in this country became so deep that everything we ate, down to the bread we ate, was passed through them. Adnan Menderes is an enemy of the people. They handed over the keys of the country to imperialism by saying \u2018there is a threat of communism\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201dNot a Security Company, but a Burglar Breaking Into Our House\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Okuyan likened NATO to a security company and claimed that this structure interfered in Turkey's internal affairs and committed murders through Gladio:<\/p>\n \u201dYou hire a company to protect your house, but that company is actually made up of thieves. NATO was behind the March 12 and September 12 coups. Gladio had a hand in the murder of seven T\u0130P youth and the murders in Ankara. They say the US was behind July 15, but we still give them the keys to our house.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Incirlik and the Nuclear Weapon Question<\/strong><\/p>\n Okuyan drew attention to the contradiction between the government's \u201cglobal powers\u201d rhetoric and its NATO membership and posed a question over the Incirlik Base:<\/p>\n \u201dAlthough not officially recognized, world documents say that there are US nuclear weapons in Incirlik. What is the purpose of these weapons? Why are nuclear weapons kept on our soil? There is no answer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201dNATO enters the Black Sea under the name of \u2018Volunteers\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Criticizing the military mobilization in the Black Sea as \u201ca group of volunteers, not affiliated with NATO\u201d, Okuyan stated that this situation was fabricated to hide a possible conflict with Russia: \u201cThere is no volunteerism in state affairs. NATO is entering the Black Sea,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n National Security or Security of Conglomerates?<\/strong><\/p>\n Criticizing the sale of Turkey's strategic institutions to foreign capital, Okuyan said that without economic independence there can be no national security:<\/p>\n \u201dIs NATO protecting us, or is it protecting the conglomerates and international monopolies from us? They gave Telecom, refineries, banks. What security secret are you talking about when international monopolies have all the information of our citizens?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201dDismantling NATO starts by removing Turkey\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Okuyan concluded his speech by emphasizing that Turkey's exit from NATO is an urgent demand:<\/p>\n \u201dSome people say \u2018NATO should be disbanded\u2019. Of course it should be disbanded, but this is a universal issue. Our duty is for Turkey to leave NATO. Because disbanding NATO starts from here; it starts by removing Turkey. In the spirit of 1920, we must show that we have no intention of opening Ankara to the imperialists.\u201d<\/p>\n The protest ended with slogans after the speech.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" T\u00fcrkiye Kom\u00fcnist Partisi (TKP), NATO\u2019nun kurulu\u015f y\u0131ld\u00f6n\u00fcm\u00fcnde Ankara\u2019da kitlesel bir y\u00fcr\u00fcy\u00fc\u015f ve eylem d\u00fczenledi.
