About the involvement of Cyprus in the recent imperialist operations in the Middle East
EDON is really concerned following the new involvement of Cyprus in the recent imperialist adventurism of US and their allies. According to reports of the British press, the British military bases in Cyprus are on full alert and stand by, waiting for the approval of the British Parliament to start the military activity against the “Islamic State” in Iraq and Syria. At the same time, other NATO members push to use the Republic of Cyprus as a forward military base.
EDON condemns every fundamentalist terrorist organization as “Islamic State” is; an organization which with its obscurantist conceptions, it’s brutal and raw use of violence forces religious fanaticism, terrorism and death in its path. This terrorist organization was born and bred by the imperialist interventions of NATO in the Middle East. The Islamic groups that created the “Islamic State” were founded and armed by USA, CIA, the EU, Turkey, the Gulf States and other NATO allies. The recent bloodshed, is a result of the US and allies effort to overthrow hostile for them regimes, by supporting and financing dangerous groups like the “Islamic State”.
The announcement of the new military operations in the Middle East is an effort to control and contain the consequences of the acts of NATO. Most of all, there are an opportunity for new interventions and continuation of the bloody project of creating the “New Middle East” in the framework of the decisions of NATO and US in 2006.
As EDON, we call the Anastasiadis Government not to follow their favorite but regressive policy that claims that “we belong to the West”. Cyprus cannot afford new adventures. Cyprus, a half occupied island, cannot offer services to imperialism, we must not enter in the dirty and dangerous games of NATO in the flaming Middle East.
