Revolutionary Communard Party

The Revolutionary Communard Party (Turkish: Devrimci Komünarlar Partisi, DKP) is a left-wing political organisation[1][2] founded on 4 February 2016, following the merger of the Liberation Movement and the Turkish Revolutionary Party.

The DKP is part of the United Freedom Forces and International Freedom Battalion (IFB),[3] participating in the Rojava conflict in the de facto autonomous AANES territory.

[4] The DKP is banned in Turkey due to its alleged affiliation with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) group.

[5] The DKP is allied with the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) and the Kurdish YPG militia, having fought alongside them during both the Raqqa campaign (2016–2017) against ISIL[6] and Operation Olive Branch against Turkey and the TFSA.

[8] Both factions are fighting as a part of the IFB against the 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria.
