Letter from the FLTI to the workers of Haft Tappeh
Comrades,
We have read your message to the workers of Armenia and Azerbaijan published on your Telegram channel. From the Committee for the Refoundation of the Fourth International (Internationl Leninist Trotskyist Fraction) we are opposite to any fratricidal war that leads the workers to kill each other in the peoples that are oppressed and looted by imperialism, that is why we salute your position. We will be posting your message on our website.. (http://www.flti-ci.org/index_eng.html)
Also, in the case of the Caucasus, we believe that the bourgeoisie, in order to convince the workers to confront each other, uses the national question, an issue that is still unresolved in this imperialist era.
Hence, we believe that the struggle against all national oppression that the Bolsheviks raised in 1920 at the Baku congress about the Federation of Soviet Republics in the Caucasus, we consider key to unite the workers of Azerbaijan and Armenia to face together the imperialist plunder of British Petroleum, which pumps the hydrocarbon wealth of the region, and to be able to expel the Russian military bases, which are in Armenia, on behalf of the imperialist pirates of Maastricht.
This fratricidal war must stop. The working class of Eurasia, Europe and the world have a great responsibility in stopping it.
We have the experience of revolutionary politics in the face of the Iraq-Iran war of the 1980s, to confront it as a fratricidal clash between Iraqi and Iranian workers, since it meant a defeat not only for the workers of those countries, as because of it the bourgeoisie and imperialism were able to drive a wedge to divide Shiite and Sunni workers creating a river of blood between them.
We cannot allow a fratricidal war in the Caucasus. Workers of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia ... we must rise up against imperialist oppression and plunder.
The recovery of the Federation of Trans-Caucasian Soviet Socialist Republics is extremely topical.
We also know that you are in a tough fight against the murderous Iranian theocracy. The Iranian working class in the vanguard and its struggles, know that we are with you. It is time to unite the struggles of the whole world working class, especially in the Maghreb and the Middle East, to expel imperialism and its oil companies and to win over all the demands of the workers.
A strong hug.
Long live the international solidarity of the working class!
