Turkish Communist Party (official)

The Turkish Communist Party (Turkish: Türkiye Komünist Fırkası, TKF), often referred to as the "official" (resmi) communist party, was a political party in Turkey. The TKF was set up by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in October 1920 in order to counter the influence of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP).[1] The party organ was Anadoluda Yeni Gün.[2] Yunus Nadi Abalıoğlu was the editor of the party organ.[3]

Atatürk disbanded the party after a short existence.[1]
