As illegal leftist organization being activity TKP/ML-TİKKO in Turkey

There is no admissible definition of terror in the international arena due to the fact that it is a commonly used term at the present day. Terror can be defined, in general, as violent acts that are undertaken to damage public authority and social structure while causing fear and disgust. In connection to this, terrorism is an organised, systematic idea that accepts using terror continuously. Terror is a medium to demolish the political order in the long term. In addition, destroying the humor of the target nation, despising the authority and deactivating the crowd are its short term aims. The most important desire of the ones that realize the terror acts is that the actions are effective and create popularity. Selecting the victims randomly is one of the characteristics of terrorism. Determinations of the victims without differentiation results in its? spreading among broad population.TKP (Communist Party of Turkey), founded in 1920, ruled the Turkish communist act all alone until 1960. After 1960, it became effective on the youth by the articles published in ?Türk Solu? (Turkish Leftist) and ?Yön? magazines, raised by the old generation TKP members. Later, these members formulised the ?Milli Demokratik Devrim? (MDD) (National Democratic Revolution) idea. According to this idea, more radical thesis were to be brought up, apart from the parliamentary struggle, for achieving socialism.Another basic element that influenced the period was ?Türkiye İşçi Partisi? (Workers' Party of Turkey). TİP has been a resource for a plenty organizations actually, after itself. ?Fikir Kulüpleri Federasyonu? (FKF) (Idea Clubs Association), that has been established as the youth organization, was taken in charge of the supporters of MDD trend and later was called as Dev-Genç (Revolutionist-Youth). The groups that were active in this period, except TİP, preferred to manage the leftist groups and their actions were mostly based on publishing ideological magasines. On the other hand, TİP started a political organisation and has selected the democratical way to achieve socialism.Although the leftist acts after 1970?s were having a lot of similarities with the previous period, they generally used armed force. So, they differ from the leftist acts of 1960?s, which had used legal and peaceful methods. The acts after 1970?s defended the ideas based on the illegal formation. The leading organisations of this period were as fallows: ?Türkiye Halk Kurtuluş Ordusu? (THKO) (Turkey Nation Independence Army) founded by the leadership of Deniz Gezmiş, ?Türkiye İhtilalci İşçi Köylü Partisi? (TİİKP) (Turkey Revolutionist Worker?s Peasant?s Party) associated by the members and assistants of Ankara University and ?Türkiye Komünist Partisi/Marksist Leninist-Türkiye İşçi Köylü Kurtuluş Ordusu? (TKP/ML-TİKKO) (Communist Party of Turkey /Marxist Leninist Worker?s Peasant?s Independence Army) founded by İbrahim Kaypakkaya. Among these organizations, TİİKP never used armed forces although it had considered nation?s war formula, thus annoyed many militants. The common feature of all these organizations is that they all divided into groups due to the different ideas and caused the formation of new organizations.According to the references of the Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü (Police Department- General), there has been four leftist organizations that continued illegal acts after 1980 military coup. These are DHKP/C, TKP/ML-TİKKO and ?Marksist Leninist Komünist Partisi? (MLKP) (Marxist Leninist Communist Party) and ?Maoist Komünist Parti? (MKP) (Maoist Communist Party), associated by the ones that separated from this organization. After the breakdown of Russia as the earth?s leader of socialism, these organizations left the idea of communism followed by socialism and propagated terrorism in the acts in the country and on abroad.TKP/ML-TİKKO, founded by a 24 years old young man called İbrahim Kaypakkaya, formed the ideology of Marxism Leninism Maoism (MLM) and tried to follow it. The group was effective especially in Tunceli countryside and in the fallowing time period there were many divisions due to different ideas. The organisation believed in the ideology of realising the Democratic Nation Revolution and tried for it by armed forces. They wanted to bring up socialism with the revolution spreading from countryside to the cities, but they have never succeeded.In the first half of this research, the historical development of illegal leftist organizations in Turkey, depending on the terror end terrorism concepts, and organizations that were active after 1980?s were covered. In the second half, TKP/ML-TİKKO organization, which was located and active in Tunceli area, was examined. Its acts and its members were investigated, considering the historical development, ideology, strategies and leaders.One of the leading problems faced during the study was that there has been no academical study about TKP/ML-TİKKO yet. The present studies of terror organizations are about DHKP/C, Hizbullah and PKK. The studies of leftist organizations are within the period of 1960?80?s. Therefore, there has been a resource difficulty during research. The resources were mostly the publications of these organizations. The ones that were for publicizing and having a narrow point of view have to be sorted out and put in order.
