Foreword
1. The goal of the East Turkistan Republican Party is to establish an independent,
culturally diverse, self governed East Turkistan Republic. We seek to assure freedom ofspeech and rights of the minorities, and that every citizen of East Turkistan enjoys equal
rights and opportunities in our great country. Today, history has proven us with actual
reality that the one reason we have encountered all these mistreatments either physicallyor mentally is because we did not place the wish of having a complete independent
country over everything. The world today also showed us , a real independent country by
all means is an indispensable factor to protect ones interest and rights to live.
2. The massive cultural and ethnic genocide occurring now in the East Turkistan
Republic brought by Chinese and its laws and regulations which violate the world trend,
give us implication that, in the near future Chinese Communist Party will eventually
come to extinction. If we do not abandon the idea of individualism , and start tosystematize our ambition of independence and terminate our conventional status, pass tocollective activity, having a long term and short term plan ,in the coming years, when an
opportunity arrives , with our current condition we will possibly not able to hold thatprecious chance .
3. In order to strengthen the legitimacy of our request for the independence of East
Turkistan, we need to guarantee public support. Creating modern political power byempowering every East Turkistani with the values, action, and political goal which
abides by the rules set forth is the crucial step in bolstering the cause for East Turkistan
Independence. This requires us to act, unite and form a political force with the samegoal.
4. In democratic political systems, voters elect parliaments and heads of state, whoestablish constitutions and represent the people. It is only through democratically-elected
representatives, universal suffrage, a constitution, and protection of minority rights, thata government obtains legitimacy to rule a land. The Chinese Communist Party hasabused this process in East Turkistan by imposing its will on the people without thepeople’s consent and democratic participation, and without protection of minority rights.
There will naturally be some differences of opinion and leadership styles among
different East Turkistan patriots, and these differences will lead to competing politicalparties and leaders, as in all other democracies. The East Turkistan Republican Party is
one such party promoting independence for East Turkistan..In our strenuous fight to finda right path for East Turkistan Independence, we realized that the political order of ourstruggle has been abused. For East Turkistan Independence, we ascertained that there is aneed for strong and publicly founded parties which can form alliances and unite withother organizations in this world order. A political party founded through democraticsystem and which is open to public can motivate people and whenever needed can use its
political force.We believe that we should start from us and we know that “there is nonecessity to discuss anything than independence of our Homeland”, we decided that we,
who dream to re-establish our Independent East Turkistan Republic, form “EastTurkistan Republican Party”.
5. East Turkistan Republic Party espouses all East Turkistan diaspora members alignwith political parties of their choice. It cooperates or unites with other organizations orparties which has similar values and goals. It takes seats in a parliament which isfounded through justice and democracy and it takes on the journey for independence andunity of our homeland, East Turkistan.
6. Founding of East Turkistan Republic Party is not an end goal, but a way to reestablishing independence of East Turkistan. It is more crucial that party members haveskills, talent and unwavering determination than whether the party has a goal and rightrules. Every citizen of East Turkistan who values independence, respects democraticelection, and who sees that only through political unity can we achieve our political goal
and the one who has discipline can apply for a membership of East Turkistan Republic
an Party.

Element 12- Our Five Inner Enemies
ETRP firmly believes that given our current condition that we have been living adisorganized political life and slow progression of our organizations which are of ineffective
political structure and our weakening spirit of independence, our biggest enemy is our own
weakness and indiscipline in character and spirit rather than the external enemy. So ETRP
puts forward a concept called the five enemy in our spirit. We believe that without firstovercoming those inner enemies, we are never capable of overcoming the real enemies of
independence of East Turkistan. So we suggest that we must realize these enemies andstruggle to overcome them.
12.1: The first enemy is when we do don’t believe that independence is even more
important than our life and our everything. A day without remembering East Turkistan is a
day without faith. Founding the East Turkistan republic where human right and freedom ofspeech are guaranteed is the meaning of our life. As long as we live a single day, we struggle
for independence.
12.2: The second enemy is selfishness in our character. Being faithful to our oath ofallegiance and overcoming the weakness of selfishness is like living with conscience. Unity
is our definite choice of conscience, of faith, of reason and possibility. We unite with any
forces which recognize our constitution, we make all the preliminary works which arenecessary and struggle for independence at all costs.
12.3: The third enemy is sloppiness and disorder. Unity is power, lies strength and unity
comes when there is order and organized system. We obey party discipline and decisionabsolutely in any circumstances. We realize that we cannot achieve independence without
unity, discipline, strategy, personal reputation and fame and dignity, individual financial
interests must be put in the second place. We strive to be the altruistic and devoted
successors of martyrs of independence and not to spend a day without succession.
12.4: The fourth enemy is our weakness. Every one of us must become a person withability in a field which is useful in our goal of independence, we strive to strengthen
ourselves in financially, intellectually.
Following the daily and monthly learningassignments to improve our ability is essential obligation of us.

Without a pioneer group who is ready to work hard for the implementation of a politicaldecision which can lead us to liberty and long live existence and who dares to take any risks
for every opportunity and who is willing to pay any price for it , any noble idea would
become a nonsense .

Every person who became a member is a founder of the party
Only when we are able to be in the most positive state in our life and act in the mostenthusiastic way remembering that what we are doing is an honourable struggle ofindependence, we can achieve the peak in our life and in the political life of our people.
