Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Turkey: Conference
"Turkistan - Abandoned to the Oppression of Russia and China"

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey held a conference under the title "Turkistan - Abandoned to the Oppression of Russia and China" at the Holiday Inn Istanbul City Hotel on Friday, 13th of May 2016.

Our conference began with a recitation from the Qur'an al-Kareem, followed by a cinevision about the Russian and Chinese persecution. Addressing the issues of Russian and Chinese oppression, persecution and exploitation policies upon the region of Turkestan, the conference also highlighted the tyrant regimes' oppressive and despotic rule in cooperation with these states towards the Muslims in the Turkestan regions. We also reminded of the martyrs of the Andijan Massacre as well as our 8,000 brothers and sisters of Hizb ut Tahrir who are currently held in the regime prisons of the tyrant Karimov. Also, it was expressed that Crimea's occupation by Russia and the forcible deportation of Crimeans need to be recognized as genocide. Another issue was the problems that immigrants coming from Turkestan to our country have to face. Their torment due to Turkey's abandoning stance continues in economic aspects as well as due to denying residence permits, and even repatriating them to their countries.

The conference took place with an intensive and broad participation:

Mahmut Kar (Head of Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Turkey), Hidayet OĞUZHAN (East Turkestan Education and Solidarity Association), Ömer E. BEZİRGAN (Vice President IMKANDER), Hamit GÖKTÜRK (Uyghurnet News and Research Centre, chief editor), Ali ÖNER (MAZLUMDER, member of board), Faruk KÖSE (researcher-writer), Ömer YÜZGÜL (lawyer), Adem ÇEVİK (Association of Turkestan Union, chairman), Osman YILDIZ (Köklü Değişim Magazine, author).

We as Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey express that we will continue to expose the oppression of Russia and China and their collaborationist tyrant rulers' dirty plans in the region of Turkistan. We once again remind that Turkestan is not abandoned and that we will not leave it to China and Russia's oppression. And we herald the revival of the Islamic Ummah to return guidance and justice to the entire world through the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood, whose rise is already upon the horizon inshaAllah.
