Turkish Communist Party (TKP)

The Turkish Communist Party (TKP) is a political organization in Turkey that advocates for Marxist-Leninist principles, aiming to establish a socialist state based on workers’ rights, equality, and public ownership of resources. It seeks to challenge capitalism and promote social justice, often operating within a legal or semi-legal framework, depending on Turkey’s political climate. TKP emphasizes class struggle, anti-imperialism, and social reforms, and it has historically been a voice for leftist ideology in Turkish politics. The party's activities and influence have varied over time, reflecting Turkey’s complex political and social landscape.
