The Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) has issued a statement regarding the protocol for Sweden's accession to NATO, which will be discussed tomorrow.

In the statement, it was emphasized that 'Our country and the world must get rid of NATO immediately,' and the following expressions were used: ''NATO only causes wars to break out, blood to be shed, and humanity to suffer.''

''BEING USED AS A BARGAINING CHIP BY THE AKP GOVERNMENT''

The statement from the Communist Party of Turkey is as follows:

''The legislative proposal regarding Sweden's NATO accession protocol will be discussed tomorrow in the TBMM Foreign Affairs Committee. This issue is a source of shame for the TBMM.

Following the start of the Russia-Ukraine War, the initiative for NATO to gain new members in Northern Europe gained great momentum. The membership of two countries in the region that are not NATO members, Sweden and Finland, was rapidly brought to the agenda. The first result of the process, which was advanced with unprecedented speed, was Finland's admission to NATO membership in March of this year. Unfortunately, the TBMM performed very poorly on this issue as well, and a positive opinion was expressed for this country's membership; not a single dissenting vote was cast. Following Finland, Sweden's membership will also cause the war environment and political tensions in the region to become permanent. Because Western imperialist powers, especially the USA, are in favor of the continuation of the tensions here.

Another dimension of the issue is that the NATO membership process of these two countries is being handled by the AKP government as a political bargaining chip. The subject was used both as material for nationalist rhetoric in domestic politics and was put on the table as a bargaining chip in negotiations with imperialist powers. Thus, our country continues to be a part of imperialist politics.

''NATO IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT ENGAGES IN THE BLOODIEST INITIATIVES''

Yet, NATO is nothing but a terrorist organization. From the very beginning, it has not brought peace to its own members or to the peoples of other countries. On the contrary, it has spread terror and organized massacres in the countries it has targeted. It has interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, both by directly declaring war and engaging in military initiatives, and by using tools such as assassinations and coups through counter-guerrilla tactics. It has not allowed the working class to raise its voice and has never hesitated to engage in the bloodiest initiatives.

''TURKEY NEEDS TO WITHDRAW FROM THIS BLOODSTAINED ORGANIZATION''

The world must get rid of NATO immediately. The first step to this is for our country and other members to withdraw from NATO. The TBMM Foreign Affairs Committee should not put NATO's expansion on its agenda, but rather Turkey's withdrawal from this bloodstained organization. The Communist Party of Turkey has advocated this from the very beginning and will continue to do so. Because NATO only causes wars to break out, blood to be shed, and humanity to suffer.

Down with NATO, down with imperialism!''
