Communist Labour Party Of Turkey




The general secretary of TKEP is Teslim Töre. Töre was jailed in 1993 .

TKEP set-up a 'Kurdish Autonomous Organization'. In 1982 it developed into the Communist Party Of Kurdistan (KKP). In 1990 KKP was separated from TKEP.

In 1990 TKEP suffered a major split as the Communist Labour Party Of Turkey/Leninist (TKEP/L) was founded. TKEP/L wanted to continue armed struggle.

TKEP started entering legal politics. It organized an open movement, Emek, that in 1994 joined the United Socialist Party (BSP), which would later become the Freedom And Solidarity Party (ÖDP) in 1996 . In effect, through Emek, TKEP acted as a fraction within ÖDP. When ÖDP split in 2002 , TKEP joined the new Socialist Labour Movement (SEH).
