Revolutionary Communist Party Of Turkey
The Revolutionary Communist Party of Turkey (, TDKP) is a clandestine communist party in Turkey. TDKP considers itself to be the continuation of the People's Liberation Army of Turkey (, THKO). The THKO Conference gathered in October 1978. It changed the name of the organisation to that of Revolutionary Communist Party of Turkey - Construction Organisation (TDKP-İÖ short for ''İnşa Örgütü''). The split with the pro-Soviet line of the THKO, called ''Mücadelede Birlik'' ('Unity in Struggle') in 1974 is also shown as its roots. Between 1976 and 1979 the followers of THKO gathered around a legal publication called ''Halkın Kurtuluşu'' (People's Liberation) and are often known by that name.Taken from the German publication of the organisation Swiss Refugee Aid, dated April 1997 and reproduced under http://ob.nubati.net/wiki/TDKP; accessed on 17 September 2010 THKO passed through two splits, ''Bes Parçacılar'' left in 1976 and ''THKO-Aktancılar'' in 1977.A look aFamily Tree ...
