I was wondering if anyone could give me a short breakdown of the largest/most active leftist groups in Turkey. I can find information about individual groups, but it's hard to get a sense of just how significant they are and how united or not the left is in Turkey. Editorializing is welcome, too.

The party with the most revolutionary potential in my view would be the P.K.K. (Kurdistan Worker's Party) - although they understandably want their own state apart from Turkey, considering the quasi-apartheid and oppression that Turkey's Kurdish population faces.

Turkey is littered with groups and grouplets. I'm sure either Leo or Devrim could give a general picture.
