Mustafa Suphi and Ethem Nejat, the prominent leaders of the communist movement of our country, are the first communists who appeared in the geography of Anatolia...

The founder and leader of the Communist Party of Turkey (CPT), Mustafa Suphi, Ethem Nejat and their other 13 comrades were massacred in the Black Sea by the Turkish bourgeoisie under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) without passing a year after the foundation of the Turkish state.

Mustafa Suphi, who was born in Giresun in 1883, went to Paris after finishing his law studies in Istanbul and there he wrote his doctoral dissertation on sociology at Sorbonne University. After his return to the country in 1910, he is doing his profession as a teacher and at the same time writes articles in different newspapers. Mustafa Suphi, who has shown interest to the workers movement since his period as a student, participated in the political struggle as a freedom fighter and organiser since 1912. He was sentenced to 15 years of prison because of opposing the Balkan War and sent to exile in Sinop. Mustafa Suphi, who escaped from Sinop to Russia in 1914 while he was in exile, became a member of the Russian Social Democrat Party's Bolshevik Wing in 1915. Suphi, who was in exile in Russia during whole period of the World War One, made propaganda of Bolshevism in all regions that he went to and tried to organise other revolutionaries who were on exile. After the October Revolution he went to Moscow, met with the Bolshevik leaders and started publishing the first Turkish communist newspaper under the name of "New World". He founded different Turkish communist organisations in Moscow, Kazan, Samara, Saratof, Rezan and Esterhan by conducting revolutionary activities in these areas. In 1919, he attended to the First Congress of the 3rd International as the delegate of these organisations.

Mustafa Suphi is the founding leader of the CPT that founded on 10 September 1920 in the congress attended by 74 delegates representing 15 organisations from Turkey and Russia. In that period, the CPT has supported the National Liberation struggle that was led by the national bourgeoisie in Anatolia, and later they decided to move to Anatolia to participate in this struggle and turn this war into a real liberation for workers and toilers. The Turkish bourgeoisie, who was scared from the development of the Bolshevik movement in Anatolia and realized that it could be a danger for their rule, has assassinated 15 leaders of the CPT, including Mustafa Suphi and Ethem Nejat, on the night of 28-29 January 1921 in the offing of the Black Sea.

The CPT, who received a heavy blow by loosing her leadership only short time after her foundation, later entered into a class-conciliation route and started supporting the policies of Kemalist bourgeoisie.

The predecessors of our party who have taken over the legacy of Mustafa Suphi's CPT -that founded in the light of the perspectives of the 3rd International and by fulfilling the unity of the communists struggling in different organisations- have founded the vanguard party of the working class from Turkish, Kurdish and different nationalities through Unity Revolution that realised in the geography of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan on 10 September 1994.

MLCP, which realized her 3rd Congress on 3-18 April 2002, is spreading the fight for revolution and socialism that she has taken over from Mustafa Suphi to the four corners of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan with the slogan of "to the masses". MLCP is upholding the struggle against the colonial fascist dictatorship with her commitment to go further from vanguard party to leading party.
