The Communist and Workers’ Parties have made and undersigned a joint statement, denouncing the attack of the USA in Iraq. The statement signed by 42 communist parties so far across the world calls upon the peoples of the countries all over the world to condemn decisively the new imperialist crime.
The full statement is as follows:
The Communist and Workers’ Parties denounce the new criminal military attack of the USA on the ground of a foreign country, in the international airport of Iraq, under Trump’s command, which resulted in victims, with officials of Iraq and an Iranian General among them. This constituted a flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty of Iraq.
We denounce the appeals of the US towards the further involvement of NATO in the Middle East, along with the sanctions against Iran which reinforce the dangers of a general conflagration in the wider region.
The fierce competition, which is unfolded for the control of markets, energy sources and their transportation routes, is very dangerous for the peoples.
The pretexts used by the US, NATO, and the EU, in order to “whitewash” the new imperialist attack, have been also used in the imperialist wars, against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Libya, and they constitute a provocation against the peoples. We reiterate our solidarity with the peoples of Iran and Iraq, condemn the inhumane sanctions against the Iranian people and any foreign interference within the two countries.
We support the right of the peoples of Iran and Iraq to fight and claim their demands against the antipopular policy, we condemn the repression measures and demand that they be stopped immediately.
We express our sorrow for the tragic human loss due to the downing of the Ukrainian plane.
We express our warm solidarity with the peoples who face the imperialist attacks. We call upon the peoples of our countries in all over the world to condemn decisively the new imperialist crime, to demand from the governments of their countries no support of, no involvement in imperialist plans, to shut down all the bases-launching pads for this kind of attacks of the US, NATO, in all the countries.
