January, 1971

"Do you hear it, comrades, do you hear the call of the Partizan?"

Partizan Medya has begun operating a radio station for Turkey, exclusively leftist, thus expanding the reach of Marxism in Turkey to, well, everyone who has a radio. It will cover a wide variety of topics, largely labor and rural issues. It will work in collaboration with Partizan Medya's newspaper, Partizan, and as well as fellow leftist newspapers and magazines, to offer only the finest reporting the Turkish Marxist-Leninist movement has to offer. The station, in addition to news reporting, also offers to promote local community programs and will occasionally play music on air.

From a broadcast in February, 1971.

"...So, you're saying, then, that you disagree with the name TIIKP on principal?"

"It's a good party, even if there's some, er, line struggle to be worked out, but, if we are a Marxist-Leninist communist party, why should we avoid the word communist in our name? There is, of course, the problem of the Turkish "Communist Party", an irrelevant club of bourgeois lackeys left behind from the Khrushchev-era Soviet Union, but we can always differentiate ourselves from them. As-is, we risk confusion with the reformist Worker's Party of Turkey."

"Until we reconstitute the Communist Party of Turkey as a true Marxist-Leninist party, we will be unable to bring about the full force of our struggle for socialism."

"That's very interesting, and I'm afraid that's time for this segment. Ladies and Gentlemen, that was Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, appearing here on this show following his publishing of The Critique of the TIIKP Draft Programme, there's plenty like that and more in it! Up next; an in-depth investigative report on the struggle of peasants in the rural regions of Turkey."
