Avrupa Türk Toplumcular Federasyonu
Avrupa Türk Toplumcular Federasyonu , ATTF for short , refers to the "European Federation of Turkish Socialists".
founding
It was created in 1968 in Berlin and Cologne . Some already existing Turkish socialist associations in Germany, such as the Berlin-Türk Toplumcular Ocağı (TTO), German "Turkish Socialist Community in Berlin", founded in 1962 , merged into this organization.
Alignment
In the early 1970s, the ATTF supported the “socialist revolutionaries” of the Turkish Workers' Party TIP . At that time, the majority of the ATTF members were already organized in trade unions; others were even in positions in the WDR , the AWO and in the trade unions that enabled them to comfortably bring views to the Turkish-speaking people in Germany. One of the federation's co-founders, for example, advertised in the Turkish-language edition of the IG Metall bulletin for the policies of the then chairman of the Republican People's Party and later Prime Minister of Turkey Bülent Ecevit and distributed other political statements, e.g. for the left DISK and against the nationalist journalism of a German Edition of the Tercüman . After the ban on TİP in Turkey in 1971, the organization increasingly campaigned for the Soviet Union-oriented TKP . The increased movement towards communism caused the founding member and then General Secretary of Avrupa Türk Toplumcular Federasyonu Yilmaz Karahasan to resign .
