IMC Istanbul

Peace activists from Britain, Greece, Germany, Israel, Sweden, USA, and Yugoslavia are meeting in Istanbul to voice their opposition to the war plans on Iraq. The Turkish government has not yet given permission to the U.S.A for the use of its bases, and deployment of U.S forces.

Peace activists from Britain, Greece, Germany, Israel, Sweden, USA, and Yugoslavia are meeting in Istanbul to voice their opposition to the war plans on Iraq. Turkey holds the key to the northern front in this war. The International Peace Forum will voice the call of the international community to turn this key into a key for peace. The Turkish government has not yet given permission to the U.S.A for the use of its bases, and deployment of U.S forces on Turkish soil. A 'NO' from Turkey would throw a wrench into the war machine. The Forum will voice the cries of the rapidly growing global anti-war coalition and ask the Turkish government to play an active role in preventing this war. Invited to Turkey by a broad coalition of peace and human rights groups, the international peace activists will participate in a major domestic peace forum, Assembly of the 100s, on January 25, organize an international peace forum on January 26, and will visit members of the government and opposition party in Ankara on January 27 and urge them to vote against the US demands on the deployment of soldiers and the use of bases.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
