KARS - Kemalist Thought Association (ADD) said on Tuesday that imperialist forces wanted to destroy the nation-state identity of Turkey because of its geographical location and strategic importance.
Final statement released after ADD's eastern Anatolia regional meeting said that imperialist forces were in an effort to eliminate particularly the nation states by using political, economic and educational means to achieve their plans.
The statement said the states, in order to achieve their imperialist goals, displayed sneaky and dirty tricks to enact stipulations of Sevres treaty instead of Lausanne Treaty.
"There should not be any doubt that Turkish nation will protect its integrity, independence, rule of law, and contemporary and secular way of living," the statement underscored.
