With slogans against the construction of the new "presidential" building complex, against fascism and the invasion, but also in favor of solidarity and the struggle, the will and identity of the T/k, hundreds of people protested yesterday afternoon against the under construction complex of "presidential", "parliament", "national garden" and mosque, near the roadblock, in the area of occupied Agios Dometios.
According to the local press today, the protest event of the “No to the complex” platform, which is made up of opposition parties, trade unions and NGOs, took place at the roundabout near the area in question, under tight security measures. Avrupa and Jeni Duzen note that most of the protesters were the "police" who lined up in front of them and in front of the construction site.
Speaking on behalf of the platform, the spokesperson of the Left Movement, Abdullah Korkmazhan, said that the perception, which ignores the democratic structure of the Turkish community, « now confronts armed soldiers». There is a need for more cooperation of democratic forces, he added.
The complex, he continued, is not just a construction, there is a process that affects every person who wants to live freely in the "country". "The issue is that it is a change of regime". Referring to Fuat Oktay's latest statements in the occupied territories last Thursday, Mr. Korkmazhan said that he "looking us in the eye threatened".
Together, we will lay the foundations of a democratic life in Turkey and the Cyprus, if we want to turn the situation in favor of the T/C, then we must act together, he added.
