NEWS CENTER - Kurdish and Turkish institutions in London issued a joint declaration together with intellectuals, writers, lawyers and journalists calling on people to vote Labour against poverty and racism in the general elections to be held in Britain on December 12.

With little left before the 12 December general elections in Britain, Kurdish and Turkish organisations and parties declared their support for the Labour Party.
 
Kurdish and Turkish intellectuals, writers, journalists, artists, academics and lawyers issued a joint declaration to call on their communities to vote for Jeremy Corbyn and to express full support for the Labour Party manifesto.
 
"The Kurdish and Turkish community in England, we are proud to support the Labour Party's manifesto. As the austerity policies deepened, poverty began to be felt more and inequality grew much faster. Like all ethnic minorities, the Kurdish and Turkish communities were turned into scapegoats."

The declaration also recalled Jeremy Corbyn's support for the Kurds against Saddam Hussein in Iraq and against Iran Kurdish policy of repression of Kurds. "Jeremy Corbyn has visited the region many times. Likewise today, Labour Party deputies and activists have visited and expressed their solidarity to the thousands of HDP activists, employees and deputies in prison in Turkey." 
 
The declaration, which emphasized that a conservative government would bring more wars, more poverty and more racist attacks agains refugees displaced by wars, invited everyone to vote for the Labour Party and its progressives and anti-racists policies on 12 December.
