Newroz is a day where people from Middle East to Central Asia celebrate enthusiastically.

Newroz, especially for Kurdish people, is an uprising against repression, is a hope, enthusiasm and freedom.

From the perspective of the Kurdish people, the origin of Newroz goes thousands of years back. According to the legends, in the history, there was a tyrant king called Dehak in the geography where Kurdish people live. The revolutionary Kawa, who resisted against the oppressor king and who was a poor man, kills the king and sets a big fire in the mountains on the 21st of March. Since then, the day the tyrant king was killed is celebrated in enthusiasm as a new day, a new life and, therefore, the day of beginning of the New Year.

Newroz is celebrated by the people from Middle East to Central Asia as a new life, hope for a life in freedom with no oppression. People would set a fire of rebellion in mountains and cities. It is an international day because it reflects the peoples' common desires, enthusiasms and feelings.

There is another meaning and importance of Newroz for Kurdish people. On 21st of March, the Kurdish people, whose country is divided into four parts, will have same feelings in all parts of Kurdistan: A free Kurdistan, the colonialists should leave their country and a self-determination right for Kurdish people. Because of that they will fill the streets and flood in the cities of Kurdistan. The fire of freedom will be lit everywhere.

Newroz is a national festival for Kurdish people. It is the day of waking and reviving. It is the day of freedom, equality and brotherhood. This is why it has always been banned and faced attacks and massacres by the Turkish State. But Kurdish people have never given up their passion for freedom by paying heavy costs on that day. On that date, millions of Kurdish people, workers, youth, elders, woman and man, will shout their anger against the colonialism by taking streets and wearing dresses in the colors of their national flag, yellow-red-green. Despite to official prohibition in some parts of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan, the state was forced to step back by de facto celebrations every year on Newroz making the prohibitions invalid.

In order to distort the essence of Newroz the state has tried to change the name into 'Nevruz' and held official celebrations in halls after vain attempts to make it non-functional. But this did not work, too. Kurdish and Turkish people have insisted on celebrating Newroz in accordance with its essence, as a day of resistance.

In last year's Newroz celebrations, the Kurdish people have taken their place eagerly, as they do always, against colonialist attacks on their national existence and democratic rights. In the celebrations, the people had also protested against the imperialism in general and the USA and British imperialists' attack on Iraq in particular, giving the message that the Iraqi people is not alone!

Today, the celebration of Newroz with its essence can be gained by setting the fire of the revolutionary Kawa, raising the slogan of peoples' brotherhood and a free Kurdistan, and increasing the struggle against imperialist occupation and expansionism. Newroz cannot be celebrated with its essence through the expectations and developing admiration on the USA imperialism, as the leadership of KONGRA-GEL does. It also cannot be done by failing to connect the demand for "peace" that is missed and expressed by the people, to the aim of destroying the colonialist fascist dictatorship.

In Newroz 2004, MLCP calls upon our peoples from Kurdish, Turkish and other nationalities to burn furiously the fight for freedom, and make it a day of solidarity and struggle for Arab, Kurdish, Persian, Turkish and other peoples, turning it into a day of struggle against imperialist occupation in Middle East.

MLCP will raise the slogan of "Free Kurdistan" and "Struggle against the Imperialist Occupation" by struggling against all types of reformist tendencies those who attempt to decline the rebellion and resistant side of Newroz to pacify the masses.

LONG LIVE NEWROZ!

LONG LIVE WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY
