Speaking to Turkish media, Cuban Ambassador to Turkey Luis Alberto Amaros Nune said: "Fidel Castro became the hero to the oppressed peoples of the world for spearheading Cuba's outstanding internationalism and solidarity."
According to the ambassador, "All the peace and justice-loving peoples of the world are recalling Fidel’s ideas nowadays. All who are pushing for and spreading solidarity to contain the COVID-19 instead of acting with egoism and cruelty are Fidel's followers. All that are confronting exploitation and hegemonic abuses of imperialism are supporters of Fidel. All that are fighting for a better world are thinking of Fidel."
Fidel Castro passed away on this day in 2016.

His legacy and the marks he left on the XX and XXI century will remain indelible. His outright defiance of imperialism and more specifically, Washington, will continue to be an inspiration to the leftist movements across the world. pic.twitter.com/tR5E8gn3SY
Fidel's legacy lives on today, not only in the hearts, minds, and spirits of the Cuban people but of the poor and working-class worldwide. As such, thousands across the world have called for the Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to Cuba's Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade, founded by Fidel in 2005, for its solidarity in combating the COVID-19 globally.
A staunch anti-imperialist, communist, socialist, internationalist, anti-racist, and defender of ever just cause worldwide, Fidel and his global legacy continue to provide a beacon of light and dignity for all those fighting for a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
