Turkish Communist Party

Turkey has slammed Greece for refusing to extradite a member of the Turkish outlawed leftist group Turkish Communist Party/Marxist-Leninist (TKP/ML).

The Turkish military has launched a security operation to "neutralize" 400 outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants in the eastern province of Tunceli.

Turkish authorities use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply the militants in question were either killed, incapacitated or captured.

A local mayor from the Turkish Communist Party (TKP) in eastern Turkey plans to release his municipality's own home-grown "communist honey" onto the market and sell it across Turkey. 

"Those who buy the communist honey will taste good quality honey. They will get a taste of us and will become more communist," Ovacık Mayor Fatih Maçoğlu told Doğan News Agency.

The Peoples' United Revolutionary Movement (HBDH), an umbrella organization recently formed by nine outlawed groups led by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), has chosen senior PKK figure Duran Kalkan as its leader and outlined its aims to stage attacks and conduct political propaganda across Turkey, daily Milliyet has reported.  

The first edition of a new novel by Turkish novelist Ahmet Ümit, titled "Elveda Güzel Vatan?m" (Farewell my Beautiful Motherland), sold out within the first week after its release on Dec. 5, causing the book's publisher, Everest, to print 50,000 more copies. 

Political parties are the inalienable elements of democratic life.

The constitution guarantees their presence and the law gives them the right to promote their propaganda the way they want to.

I have been to Rasih Nuri İleri’s home a couple of times.

He would talk about even the harshest memories in a soft style. His house was like a museum, even though this is used too much as a cliché, but this is the only way to describe his house.

One of the leading names of the Turkish communist movement, Rasih Nuri İleri, died at his home in Istanbul Dec. 6 morning at the age of 94. İleri's funeral will be held Tuesday at Bebek Mosque after noon prayers and his body will be laid to rest in the Aşiyan Cemetery.
