PKK-NPA Sign Unity Agreement

	Representatives of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the
Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) recently met in Brussels,
the capital of Belgium. After a series of discussions, the National
Liberation Front of Kurdistan (ERNK) and the National Democratic
Front (NDF) signed a unity agreement.
	The NDF members responsible for international affairs, Luis
Jalandoni and Emilio Rojo, signed the protocol on behalf of the
Central Committee of the CPP. Representatives of both parties and
fronts agreed to support and give solidarity to one another in all
areas of praxis.
	The representatives stated in the protocol: "We, the Kurdistan
Workers Party and the Communist Party of the Philippines, will
intensify the ties between our comrades in the future. We will
struggle against imperialism and reactionary forces, and we will
strengthen our solidarity in the struggle for our national
liberation and democracy. We will develop a democratic revolution
with a socialist revolution as our goal. We have as our foundation
the fundamentals of proletarian internationalism. We will turn
these ideals into reality by means of our revolutionary praxis."
	The revolutionary-democratic movement in The Philippines has
been waging a guerrilla struggle against the government since 1968.
By means of the 23,000 fighters organized in the New People's Army
(NPA), the CPP and the NDF are struggling in 10,000 villages in 60
major regions and on 60 military fronts.
