Communist Party of Turkey (Turkish:Türkiye Komünist Partisi (TKP))

There are at this moment several fractions in Turkey who claim to be the true representators and succesors of the Communist Party of Turkey which was founded in 1920.

• The TKP which separated in 1978 from the main TKP and became known after the periodical İşçinin Sesi (Worker's Voice) which they issued.
• The legal political party TKP which was found in 2001 after they changed their name from SIP (Party for Social Power).
• The TKP, which consists of three groups who don't feel themselves represented by the former two TKP parties and who are grouped around periodicals called Ürün sosyalist dergi, Savas Yolu and Fabrika.
