The Cause of Poverty and Exploitation is the Government, Not Refugees

On the night of 30 June, the lynching that started with attacks against refugees/immigrants in Kayseri Melikgazi spread to many cities in a short time. The lynching, in which the nationalist-fascists organised attacks on the houses, workplaces and vehicles of Syrian immigrants and directly on themselves, is being turned into a pogrom.

The incidents, which started in Kayseri on the grounds of sexual abuse against a girl but quickly turned into hostility towards immigrants and racism by the fascist-reactionaries targeting Syrians, are gradually growing.

At the current stage, it has become clear in a short time that the attackers are not interested in whether the suspect of sexual abuse was caught or not, whether he was punished or not.

The fact that all these attacks, looting and plundering took place in front of the eyes of law enforcement forces points to the finger of the state in the development and spread of the events.

We have not seen any concerns or reactions of racist-fascist groups about children and human rights, unemployment or labour until today.

What is clear, then, is that with a fascist-racist hysteria, the anger and reactions of the masses against the deep exploitation order in which they are living today are being channeled into other channels.

The cause of the deep poverty is not the immigrants, but the Turkish capital/bosses who put their exploitation policies into practice in a way that will hit the immigrants in the heaviest way.

The reason for the avalanche of unemployment is not the refugees but the economic policies implemented by the AKP-MHP government. The male-dominated system is responsible for the harassment and male violence in our geography, not the refugees.

Syrian refugees have been forced to flee to all four corners of the world as a result of the war and occupation policies that AKP-R.T.Erdoğan has fuelled, organised and participated in with the instructions of the USA. In the places where they have fled, they have become the target of the most rampant exploitation, violence, oppression, harassment and rape and horrible exploitation.

The government is trying to take out its distress from the victims of the war it is responsible for. Migrants/refugees are never our enemy! Our enemy is the wheel of exploitation and oppression that crushes them between its gears.

This wheel is controlled by Turkish capital and their spokesperson AKP-MHP government.

Let's not give way to racist fascist attacks against refugees/migrants!
