PAME denounces the military preparation of the governments of the USA, Britain, France, Turkey and of the emirs of the Persian Gulf for the invasion in Syria.

It is well known that Syria is an obstacle to the plans of the American and European imperialists for the New Middle East, i.e. the control of the productive resources in the region, especially today in the background of the global capitalist crisis.

The military attack against Syria threatens to “steep in blood” the peoples of the Middle East and of the Eastern Mediterranean as a whole.

The class-oriented trade union movement of our country is against the imperialist war and the participation of our country in it.

We express our solidarity with the working class and the people of Syria.

The people of our country have fraternal bonds with the people of Syria.

PAME calls upon the trade unions to demand from the Greek government:

• The base of Souda to be closed now.

• Not to provide any facility to the USA, NATO, E.U. and their allies in any military operation against Syria or any other country in the region. The military infrastructures located in our country (like the military airport of Kalamata) not to be available to the imperialists.

• The Greek military forces not to participate in the new imperialist war.

• Any military cooperation with Israel to be stopped.
