Nakliyat-İş (the Revolutionary Union of Road, Air and Railway Transport Workers of Türkiye) has announced its participation in an international solidarity campaign with the Cuban people and working class. The initiative, promoted by international trade union organizations, seeks to denounce the U.S. economic blockade against Cuba and express support for the Cuban people's long-standing resistance.
In recent months, U.S. imperialism, seeking to legitimize its aggression — which it has intensified through an oil blockade, new sanctions against the country’s institutions and leaders, and threats of military intervention — has added yet another baseless accusation to its fabricated charges. It has issued an absurd accusation against Raúl Castro, alleging that he ordered the shootdown of two U.S. civilian aircraft in 1996, causing the deaths of four people.
The Cuba–Türkiye Friendship Association presented the campaign “Collecting Sunlight for Cuba” during a meeting aimed at raising awareness about the worsening energy crisis affecting the island as a result of the tightening of the U.S. blockade and sanctions.
As part of a multicultural fair that brought together student delegations from around the world, the community of Cuban scholarship students in Türkiye delivered an outstanding presentation of the island’s identity and traditions on a university campus in Istanbul. The exhibition was supported by the Consulate General of Cuba in the city, which provided key elements of the nation’s cultural heritage for the display.
The José Martí Cuba Friendship Association took part in the opening of the “Solidarity with Cuba” exhibition at the Izmir Architecture Center, an event dedicated to strengthening friendship and solidarity with the Cuban people.
