15 May 2025
Following the commemoration event for Ibrahim Kaypakkaya held in Germany on 10 May, the Night Organising Committee issued a statement thanking everyone who contributed. The assessment, signed by the Central Commemoration Committee, was shared with the public.
‘In the 52nd In the Year of Immortality, we once again commemorated the polar star of our revolution, the communist leader Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, with mass enthusiasm.’ The statement emphasised that the mass and enthusiastic night event held in Germany on 10 May 2025 was successfully concluded, adding, ’Thanks to the collective efforts of hundreds of comrades, we would like to thank all our comrades, revolutionary friends, artists and writers who contributed to the efforts to commemorate all our immortal ones in the person of Kaypakkaya, which were the product of months of labour, and who participated and stood in revolutionary solidarity.’
In the statement, which also touched on developments around the world during the night's activities, it was said: ‘The historical process in which we commemorate our communist leader Kaypakkaya and all our immortal comrades is one in which the imperialist-capitalist world reaction, which is increasing its oppression of the oppressed and turning the world into a sea of blood, on the one hand, intensifies the oppression of the oppressed, turns the world into a sea of blood, and seeks to overcome its structural crisis through a new war of division, thereby exposing the peoples of the world to the danger of a new imperialist massacre; on the other hand, the conditions in which the AKP-MHP fascist bloc, an extension of imperialist-capitalist world reaction in our region, continues its bloody rule through unrestrained oppression of the working people and imposes a comprehensive liquidation.
The Committee noted that during the joint activities, the political content of the work was approached as a common struggle against imperialist wars and occupations and all reactionary regimes. It stated that the campaign began with the LLL March held in Berlin on 12 January 2025, followed by panels in eight different regions of Europe, and that on 1 May, joint mass processions were formed in many cities across Europe.
The statement continued: ‘The final phase of our campaign, which lasted approximately four months, reached its peak with the night event held on 10 May 2025. Approximately three thousand people from all over Europe, who arrived by buses and private vehicles, once again experienced the justified enthusiasm of commemorating our comrade İbrahim Kaypakkaya and all those we have lost in his person; the slogans chanted by the crowd as one heart, claiming Kaypakkaya and our immortal comrades, added a revolutionary excitement to our night.’
The committee's statement also expressed gratitude to international Maoist and revolutionary organisations that conveyed their revolutionary solidarity through written and visual messages:
"On this basis, the joint message from the MKP and TKP-ML guerrillas, who sent video messages from the front lines of the hot war, adding revolutionary enthusiasm to our night; the video messages from HDBH, KDBH, and the International Armenian Battalion; and the international Maoist and revolutionary organisations that participated in the event, sent greetings, or conveyed their feelings of revolutionary solidarity through written and visual messages: the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, the Nepal Revolutionary Communist Party, the French Communist Unity Bureau, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Afghanistan (Maoist), PBSP/Bangladesh, (new) Italian Communist Party Central Committee, Ural Maoists Union (Russia), Revolutionary Construction (Switzerland), and MLPD; and revolutionary friendly organisations in our region: HDBH/Europe, TİKB, MLKP/Europe Committee, DKP (B), Revolutionary Communists Party (Unity)/Europe Committee, TKİP/Overseas Organisation as the Commemoration Organising Committee, and greet them with revolutionary enthusiasm."
The statement concludes as follows: ’Imperialist world reaction, centred on hegemonic conflicts, is driving humanity towards disaster through heavy exploitation, imperialist wars and the destruction of nature. In this historical process, the economic, political, and hegemonic crisis of world reaction is summed up in unbridled exploitation, occupation, annexation, and the plunder of nature. Undoubtedly, this situation imposes great responsibilities on communist and revolutionary forces. Making communism a concrete threat to imperialist-capitalist world reaction is possible only through the oppressed becoming the subject of their own struggles. The process is expanding the objective possibilities of revolution in every way. The revolutionary dynamic that will emerge from these objective possibilities will be the work of us, the successors who are united in struggle along the path of Kaypakkaya.
As the successors of Comrade Kaypakkaya, we once again declare with revolutionary enthusiasm that we will realise the dream of freedom for the oppressed and exploited peoples, the downtrodden nations and beliefs, based on the revolution; and that we will further expand the common struggle for independence, socialism and communism.

Dear comrades,
We address our proletarian, red and internationalist salute to your meeting.
Turkey is one of the main countries of the world, an important node of the three contradictions -the one between bourgeoisie and proletariat, that between imperialism and oppressed peoples and the inter-imperialist contradiction- that characterize the capitalist mode of production in the era of imperialism and proletarian revolution defined by Lenin.
Great hopes of the world proletarian revolution are entrusted to the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat and the people’s masses of Turkey.
It means that great hopes are entrusted today to the role of a marxist-leninist-maoist Party, as proletarian vanguard and central nucleus of the struggle of all the people of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan.
The historical function of the Communist Party in Turkey in the current era had a new beginning with the birth of the TKP/ML, led by comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, in 1972, in the wake of the struggle against modern revisionism and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which is still a beacon of the Turkish and international communist movement.
Eternal glory to Ibrahim Kaypakkaya!
These 53 years are a history of fighting, years of revolutionary martyrs , years of political and war prisoners locked up in the dark prisons of the regimes that succeeded in Turkey at the service of imperialism, up to the current fascist Erdogan’s regime.
We have always appreciated the Marxist-Leninist history of the Party, the adoption of Maoism, as the third and current stage of the only revolutionary science produced by the proletariat, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
We support the goal of the New Democratic Revolution and the strategy of the protracted people's war, as part of the world proletarian revolution
Today we are in the midst of the deepening crisis of imperialism, the sharpening of the inter-imperialist contradictions that are dragging the world into a new world imperialist war.
Turkey is at the heart of this process, the orientation and political and practical action of the Turkish communists in this context are fundamental, as well as the autonomy of the proletarians and people from all imperialists in dispute, the struggle against the main enemy, US/NATO imperialism, the support for the genuine resistance of the proletariat and the oppressed masses.
All Marxist-Leninist-Maoist forces, Parties and Organizations have to unite to fulfil international and national tasks together.
A unity based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the intransigent struggle against revisionism and, as a secondary enemy, the sectarian, ideologist and purely propagandistic petty bourgeois currents that use Maoism as a vehicle of division to impose factionalism.
We think that the Turkish Marxist-Leninist-Maoist communists, together with the Parties currently leading the people's wars, first and foremost the Communist Party of India (Maoist) have a great role in uniting what someone tries to divide, to establish in fact the path of the people's war and the proletarian revolution.
Comrades,
the relationship between our Party in Italy and your Party iare important and must become more and more solid, though in an atmosphere of frankness on the issues in which we may still have differences. We think we have much to learn from the ideological, theoretical and political history of the Turkish communists. At the same time, we put at your service our historical experience which comes from the contribution of Antonio Gramsci and the Communist Party, the great epic of the anti-fascist Resistance in Italy, our tenacity and hard battle from the 70s up today for a new Communist Party as advanced detachment of the working class, leading their daily and general struggles in function of the class and revolutionary war for workers' power, the dictatorship of the proletariat in an imperialist country that, in this historical era would be a strategic outpost of the world proletarian revolution.
Let us unite in the struggle gainst the Imperialist War, Reaction, Fascism, Repression, Poverty and Oppression
Free Palestine from the river to the sea!
Long live Ibrahm Kayppakkaya!
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
Long live the unity between TKPML and PCm Italy at the service of the new unity of the International Communist Movement!
Long Live Proletarian Internationalism!
