The youth of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan is recently wanted to be deeply influenced through fascist assaults. These attacks on the youth that is the most active group within the society are realised in a planned and organised way in collaboration with the police, special security force and civil fascists.
The armed attack carried out on April 6 at Akdeniz University Campus by a fascist group on the revolutionary democrat students in front of the press` cameras, that resulted in 7 students being injured, shows the extent of the fascist attacks of the last 3 months that have been increased against students at many universities for some time. On April 27, Sinan Tanriverdi, student at Inönü University and chair of the Socialist Youth Association ( SGD ) in Malatya, was attacked when he was walking on the street. This shows again that the attacks on the youth are carried out in a planned way and always have a target.
These attacks are nothing new for the revolutionaries and communists in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan. Whenever there was a development in the organisation and struggle of the youth, the fascist dictatorship immediately applied similar plans. Especially in order to hinder the struggle of the university youth, first civil fascists as well as the police and special security troops at the universities were brought to attack the revolutionary and democratic students. The police, who remained observing the fascist attacks, arrested and imprisoned the students that were attacked instead of arresting the attackers. While the students` whole data are recorded with the claim "security" on the one hand, the aim is also to declare a state of emergency at universities following the order of YOK on the other hand.
These attacks on the youth target at frightening the youth. The fact that the students have shown a greater interest in the problems of the working class and its struggle, carried out solidarity acts such as the march from the campuses to the shipyards, defended the brotherhood of the people against racism and chauvinism and for that, organised a march to Kurdistan and strengthened the struggle against the military operations in Kurdistan have scared the fascist dictatorship. The youth sees its liberation more and more in the liberation of the working class and therefore, it takes part in the working class` struggle. The attacks have the aim to make the youth passive and to hold them off the class struggle.
The university youth that faces the common attacks of the police forces of the state, the civil fascist forces, the private security units at the universities and the university administration is determined to disperse this siege. The fascist attacks won't remain without an answer. The youth that fight against these attacks is saying "it's time now for struggling" and raises its determination to struggle against the fascist attacks. With its spirit and the determination of the `68, the perspective and action of the youth to defend the working class` struggle is the right way that must and will be developed.
