Turkish Left

However, unlike many socialists, they criticise Marx often and they consider Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and Sultan Galiev as ideologues of Turkic Socialism.

They are influenced by Attila İlhan, Doğan Avcıoğlu and Şevket Süreyya Aydemir also.

They have been in favour of Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, Muammar Gaddafi and Hugo Chavez because of their Socialism and Third Worldism, Rauf Denktaş and Rebiya Kadeer because of their Pan-Turkism.

They supported good relations with Turkic and Islamic countries and they view the USA, Israel, EU, Russia and China as enemies of Turkey.

Türk Solu defended that Kurds should melt in Turkish pot.
