Hundreds of people killed in an attack on 11th of September. As a result of that attack, Taliban and USA and his followers opposed to each other. The war between killer of thousands of Afghans, and USA and his followers made me remember that how horrible war and militarism are.

The wars and collective killing starvation, misery and unhealible wounds are created as a result of the anxiety and efforts of states about maintaining their power. I curse every kind of war, terror and violence and I declare that I will not become the agent of any of them.

I do not belong to any state. I want a world without state, without borders, without authority and violence. The state teaches me to kill people in its army and it wants to destroy my ideas by forcing me to join its army, to kill people. I would not let the state destroy my ideas and dreams because I was not born to kill or killed by people in the name of someone or something.

Concerning this, I refuse to join the army or any other institutions of any state whatever results it produces. At the same time, I do not accept any kind of rights or organizations given to me, such as deference, state permission or rotten reports. I will not make any legal defending and will not accept any lawyers in the courts that would be opened about me.

I do not want to be the killer of one person or millions. Substitute military service is a cheat. Every kind of violence is inhuman, I curse violence and put it out of my live.

So, I will not join military service under any conditions. I call everybody not to join from here. And I call everybody to endure solidarity and resist against militarism and war by non violent actions.
