Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) has released a written statement on Tuesday, a day after the Israeli forces killed 61 Palestinians on the border with Gaza Strip during the ongoing protests known as the Great March of Return and riots against the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem. 

"There is no legitimacy in the decision of the US to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Countless attacks have taken place in the region since the declaration of this decision. While today is the seventieth anniversary of Nakba, the forced deterritorialization of Palestinian people, organising the opening ceremony earlier on this very day is another dimension of this absolutely provocative act, TKP said in the statement. 

Palestinians are marking the anniversary Tuesday of "Nakba," or "Catastrophe," a reference to the uprooting of hundreds of thousands who fled or were expelled from their homes in the territories taken over by Israel during the 1948 war. This year, the occasion was especially sad for the world, coming a day after the U.S. opened its new embassy to Israel in Jerusalem and 61 Palestinians were killed in Gaza during protests.

"While several countries have acted as part of this provocation by sending their representatives to the opening, the call of EU for moderacy is an absolutely token gesture. The declarations of [Turkish] AKP government, that on one hand exhibits itself as the defender of Palestinian cause and on the other hand claims to be the strategic partner of US, that keeps all its military, economical and political relations with the US and Isreal and that feeds on the poverty and losses of Palestinian people, are hypocritical," TKP underlined.

"But the problem is not just the US, that has lost its ability to control, being ruled by a freak, nor just the collaboration of regional governments that continuously victimise the Palestinian people in negotiations. The problem is all these to their fullest extent. The problem is this impasse in front of humanity that the world capitalism has posed," the statement added.

"The reactionaries can only shed crocodile tears and pretend to mourn for Palestine, whereas the solution of the issue can be achieved only through a determined struggle with imperialism, its accomplices and all the elements which hold this system that demolishes humanity," it said.

The statement emphasized that the communists of Turkey maintain their solidarity with the resisting people of Palestine against occupation and will continue to be part of this determined struggle.

"The collective struggle of peoples will invalidate the dirty plans of imperialism, thousands of Palestinians that had to spent decades as refugees will regain their motherland, the Palestinian people will gain their independent state. The just resistance of Palestinian people will win!" TKP said.
