We condemn the NATO

aggression toward Yugoslavia

 

For the last several days, the world has witnessed the missile attacks on Yugoslavia by NATO forces led by American imperialist. According to the NATO propaganda machine, their savage attack is a "humanitarian mission" to help ethnic Albanians of Kosovo. But what they actually do is nothing than a violation of all international laws that are recognized by membres of NATO countries. They are simply interfering with the poorer and hopeless smaller states.

The problem of the Moslem minority of Kosovo is purely an internal matter that has to be solved by all Yugoslavian people, including the people of Kosovo, in a democratic way with a mutual respect for each other. For many years, the members of NATO countries have violated the basic rights of people around world and have had no respect for any nation outside of NATO. Therefore, the NATO bombing campaign is nothing more than a way to destroy the military machine of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia has always had a strong military force in Europe. NATO do not want to see such a military force that opposes their policy in Balkan. On the other hand, NATO considers Yugoslavia as a potential allay of Russian. So, their belief is that Yugolavia should break down into many poorer and smaller states. This is what NATO wants to accomplish as they have done before. Consequently, their aggression towards Yugoslavia has nothing to do with the human rights of the people of Cassava.

As matter of fact, NATO's savage bombing campaign has the same mission as their mission in Iraq for the last couple Years. The only difference is, some members of NATO have a huge interest in Iraq and this is why the American and British forces acting alone. The NATO countries have never opposed the oppression of minorities around the world. Some good examples in this regard are Turkey and the Islamic republic of Iran. Both of these countries are killing minority groups of Kurds and destroying their homes and villages for many many years and have always enjoyed NATO's support. For the past 75 years, the dictatorial government of Turkey has denied the very basic rights of the Kurdish people. Speaking kurdi is forbidden and kurds do not even the right to adopt a kurdish name for their child. Turkey is a member of NATO and always has been fully supported by NATO countries.

Many liberation movements, around the world are fighting with their dictatorial governments for basic human rights and social justice, have been named "terrorists" by NATO countries simply because they do not recognize the "new world order" of the imperialist forces.

The western mass media do not show, talk, or write about the casualties of the NATO bombing campaign which most of them are civilian. They only talk about the Albanian minority of Cassava. It seem there are only two groups of people in this world. Those who admit the superiority of NATO countries and accept the imperialists "new world order" policy and they are protected. Those who oppose such authorities and should be destroyed.

The NATO aggression is an oppressive and unhumansitic act towards independent states. It is also a clear violation of all international laws and UN accords. Therefore, along with all progressive and revolutionary forces around the world, we condemn the NATO savage bombing campaign of the Yugoslavian people and we demand the immediate stop of all NATO military activities against Yugoslavia.
