Mass resignation from the Workers' Party of Turkey: Provincial and district organization officials leave the party by issuing a declaration

Officials from the Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP) provincial organizations in Ağrı, Diyarbakır, Batman, Dersim, Mardin, Muş, Siirt, and Van, as well as numerous provincial and district organizations including those in Istanbul and İzmir, have resigned from the party.

In a statement titled 'To the Turkish Left/Socialist Public' published on the website 'Kılavuz Yayın', it was stated: "As a result of the party headquarters' preference to purge revolutionaries rather than include them, hundreds of members who have grown the party since its inception or joined the socialist struggle through TİP have decided to leave the party and continue the struggle by forging a new path. We, the individuals whose signatures are present at a representative level in this declaration, along with our hundreds of comrades, call upon all revolutionaries in our country to join a struggle that will revive the socialist revolution movement in line with the principles we have stated below, during this period when socialist politics, especially within TİP, is being stripped of its revolutionary essence and confined to the boundaries of establishment politics."
