Through its counter-guerrilla massacre with a bomb in Amed, the colonialist fascist dictatorship has once more shown that it will continue in acceleration with its never given up policy of denial and annihilation towards Kurdish people.

Ten people are killed and 13 wounded in the bombing that was carried out in a bus stop in Kosuyolu Park of the Baglar district of Amed (Diyarbakir) on 12 September evening. 7 of them were children under 12, including two babies; one is 6 and the other one 9 months.

What is in the background of the attack is the appointment to the position of Chief of General Staff of the fascist General Buyukanit, who came to the fore during the process of attacks that extend from flag provocation in Mersin to counter-guerrilla action in Semdinli , which was brought to the open by the people, who is one of the organisers of lynching hysteria against Kurds, revolutionaries and progressives by making calls of waging a total attack against the Kurdish people. What is in the background of the attack is the adoption of new TMY (Anti-terror Law) in the parliament and the setting up of a special organisation by recruiting experienced counter-guerrillas in Diyarbakir.

The attack is also carried out in a process when the KKK (Democratic Confederation of Kurdistan) had published the "declaration for democratic solution", when the Kurdish people had upheld the peace demand in 1 September demonstrations and when the mothers of soldiers had increased their cry outs to rebel.

In recent weeks, old military officers, non-commissioned officers, specialist sergeants and informers, who worked in JITEM (Gendarmerie Intelligence Organisation) during the period of dirty war, were called to Diyarbakir and received operational and intelligence training under the command of a brigadier general.

By taking the streets for days following the massacre, the people of Amed have denounced that the massacre was the work of counter-guerrilla as it happened in Semdinli. And in the West, the ESP , DTP , SDP , IHD and many other democratic mass organisations have brought to the open the counter-guerrilla face of the state and its attempts to divert attentions by trying to show the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) as the responsible of the bombing. The colonialist fascist state forces responded to the struggle of the Kurdish people and the revolutionary and democratic forces by attacking the actions and surrounding all streets and roads of Amed with panzers, special teams and the police. The people of Amed resisted against the attacks by setting barricades and with stones and sticks.

Whilst the colonialist fascist regime reorganises very deeply its policy of denial and annihilation, its organisations of dirty war and counter-guerrilla gangs under the leadership of Buyukanit, the fascist general, it at the same time carries its massacres, which gained speed by the execution of 16 years-old Fevzi Abik on the street in Adana and the massacre of 8 years-old Mizgin Ozbek together with two Kurdish guerrillas in Batman, to higher dimensions by the bombing in Amed.

The lynching attempts are still continuing rapidly as seen in the lynching of 4 Kurdish workers in Sakarya and 4 students who opened banner against the Lebanon decree in Istanbul. Moreover our party MLCP's organising and enlightening of the Turkish workers and labourers against chauvinism and lynching attempts and its line to develop the brotherhood and united struggle of the Kurdish people and the Turkish workers and labourers in the axes of defending the Kurdish people's democratic demands and increasing the socialist patriotism in Kurdistan, has played a great role in the wave of state terror on our party.

This is why there stands before us the task to repulse these attacks and the massacre in Amed, chauvinism and lynching attempts, new TMY and assassination attacks in Kurdistan with a united revolutionary resistance.

Coordination*
While the USA has appointed Joseph Ralston, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Forces in Europe, to the coordination job, the Turkish state appointed Edip Baser, former Land Forces Commander. But the future of the coordination, which they have established as an expression of joint attitude against the PKK, is unclear. The army expresses its counter position on such understanding through replies like ‘there is nothing to coordinate'. The situation was perceived by some circles as the creation of grounds to talk with PKK and, therefore, caused different howls. It is not possible to say that the USA and the fascist dictatorship are fully in agreement on the matter of liquidation of the PKK. The policy of the Turkish state and the USA's Middle East-Kurdish policy do not overlap with each others.

With its annihilation policy on the PKK, the Turkish state tries to realize its programme of liquidating the PKK leadership in Kandil and PKK forces in the Southern Kurdistan, to make pressure on the USA for its demands in this framework. And the USA, which doesn't want to live another armed conflict because of the situation in Iraq and the Middle East, seems to be following a policy to liquidate it by integrating the PKK within the system and by disarming the guerrilla with a general amnesty that includes Ocalan and the PKK leadership.

In the face of the demands, which have been continuously put forward by the Turkish state, also during the period of Iraq decree, and which have been asked more cautiously in the axes of the new situation that came up in the Southern Kurdistan following the occupation of Iraq, the USA makes some moves that are far from satisfying the colonialists fascism. The closure of the PKK offices in the south over the USA collaborator Kurdish leadership in the Southern Kurdistan represented the most "important" step. However, it seems that it is not possible for USA to choose another direction beyond that because of its actual situation and dead-end in the Middle East.

It seems that the coordination will remain for a period of time as the coordination of creating a pressure upon the PKK among Turkish state and the USA imperialism.

*The process which developed after that the USA appointed a "Special Coordinator on the PKK issue" on 28 September and that the Turkish state appointed a coordinator last month.
