A CALL

Patriots, nationalists, Atatürkists, Republicans, those who worry for this homeland, those who are ready to give their lives for even an inch of its soil, this CALL is for you!

Our country is facing the greatest threat since the founding of the Republic.

Treacherous hands have reached deep into the heart of the homeland.

Imperialism and its dirty local partners have been active for years with scenarios that threaten the indivisible integrity of the homeland and the nation, as well as its unitary structure.

Yesterday's nationalists have fallen into a state of negligence, presenting the baby-killer terrorist leader, who has shed the blood of tens of thousands of our citizens, as a "peace dove."

The homeland soil, protected by our soldiers who heroically fell as martyrs and our veterans in the fight against terrorism, is on the verge of being surrendered to the Greater Middle East Project.

It should not be forgotten that the Kurdish uprisings, which gained momentum in the final period of the Ottoman Empire and were fueled by occupying imperialist powers throughout the War of Independence, continued in the years following the founding of the Republic.

Maps showing the East and Southeast of Turkey have remained relevant since the Treaty of Sèvres.

The power behind the PKK and its new versions (YPG/PYD, etc.) is the USA. The terrorist organization has now outgrown Turkey and has transformed into a key actor in the Middle Eastern geography as a pawn of imperialism.

In the face of this clear and obvious picture, it is evident that the importance attributed to Öcalan and the demand for him to liquidate the PKK aim not at the survival of Turkey, but only at the survival of the ruling alliance.

While the bargaining process continues at full speed behind closed doors, it is clear that it is impossible for the separatist forces to give up the concessions they have been voicing for decades.

The background of the new Constitution delusion has emerged.

In order to provide the AKP and its partner with eternal power, the production of a 'Division Constitution' has begun, which opens the door to a "bi-communal," "bi-lingual," and "regionally and locally autonomous" structure, destroying the unitary state.

In this "GIVE-TAKE" relationship, what is given will be the "homeland," and what is taken will be the "reign."

All patriotic political parties, primarily the Republican People's Party (CHP), as well as nationalist, Kemalist, and Republican associations, foundations, platforms, unions, media organizations, columnists, and Republican intellectuals must disrupt this game and say "STOP" to this trap.

Falling for the false magic of Democracy and Peace and for unrealistic scenarios will be throwing Turkey into the arms of a danger that cannot be remedied.

The day has long since come for all components of democratic mass organizations that are aware of the danger to unite and speak with one voice.

It is impossible to achieve results with a structure that is skilled at dividing but disabled at uniting.

It is time to awaken society as a "single voice" and "single breath" and to mobilize the power that will guide politics.

Turkey urgently needs a "Liberation Platform." Millions of Atatürkists, nationalists, and patriots are waiting for this.

It is our debt to the Great Atatürk to fight for a Turkey where we can live together as brothers without division, by meeting on the basis of Atatürk's Nationalism, which is based on common history, language, morality, culture, law, and citizenship, far from religious, sectarian, and ethnic discrimination.

The strong civil society organizations that will respond to this call will undoubtedly be the ones who write Turkey's second History of Liberation.
