The Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) released a statement on the victory of the popular and patriotic forces in Venezuela in the National Constituent Assembly elections. The statement congratulated the victory of President Nicolas Maduro government and the valiant people of Venezuela.
The statement said that the U.S.-backed capital groups and gangs had been in an effort to degrade the people's government of Venezuela for months, taking the lives of hundreds of patriotic people, damaging the public property and the infrastructure.
Despite all the provocation, said the statement, the results of the election proved that "Venezuela's anti-imperialist government maintained its popular base. The people of Venezuela are ready to go further."
The statement noted that "the task of the patriotic forces is not an easy one", taking into consideration the statements of imperialist US following the election. The US administration declared that it does not recognize the legitimate results of the election. In addition to the direct intervention of imperialism in the country, right-wing gangs are also directed by the capital groups in Venezuela, the statement underlined.
The statement said that the US should stop its illegal activities in Venezuela and the right-wing gangs should be impeded.
"Immediately after the results of the elections are clear, the statements coming from Washington proved to be the reporter of provocation in the country. Imperialism has declared that it will not recognize the legitimate consequences of this election. The US administration, who admitted their struggle to overthrow the government in Venezuela a week before the elections, also announced that they will continue with the murders, the violence, in the name of protest, and will continue to attack the infrastructure of the country," the statement said.
"The only source of right-wing opposition in the country is not the support of imperialism. Right-wing gangs are directed by the capital groups in Venezuela. As Venezuelan capital moves comfortably, the right-wing gangs will carry out activities against the country. U.S. should stop its illegal and illegitimate activities in Venezuela. The right-wing gangs should be impeded," it added.
The statement ended with the Communist Party of Turkey's resolution to stand by the popular and revolutionary forces of Venezuela at their every step against imperialism and the capital groups.
