Mahir Cayan, founder of the Türkiye Halk Kurtulus Partisi - Cephesi THKP (people release party and front of Turkey) became on the 15 March 1946 in Samsun born. He visited the school of 1952-61 and was a very successful student. It was fanatical fan of Fenerbahce and went playing often soccer. Its „soccer friends“ among other things Deniz Gezmis and Saffet Rüstü Tekin, that should play later in the Turkish left an important role, were. From 1963, it studied law. It had the selection between medicine and law, decided to study itself then however on pressure of its uncle law. To its uncle, Mahir had a good ratio. It was that that had brought Mahir with the Marxismus in contact.
In the university, he became acquainted with then many further personalities, that should become late friends of it, e.g. Yusuf Küpeli. There was there to be sure also another long-haired, that was addressed a day by Yusuf Küpeli: „show my friend. In the mountains of Bolivia, Che Guevara can grow let itself long hairs. We are here however in Turkey. Our people not likes sowas, let cut it you therefore rather." The long-haired let cut itself thereupon the hairs and was no more other than an Ertugrul Kürkcü, that should belong later together with Mahir, Yusuf Küpeli and other to the founders of the THKP-C. In the university, the students photos of Mao Tze-Tung and Che Guevara hung on its closets. Mahir became, like many other to this time also member of the HINT (Turkish worker party) and also speaker of a student meeting. This student meeting was always active and was in the most demonstrations at the same time, with which sayings as well as: „Go home Demirel, Go home“, „the bear of Texas, is Demirels cousin“ or „forever lives the independent Turkey“. To its friend, it said: „a day you will read in the newspaper the message, died am that I." Yusuf Küpeli, Deniz Gezmis, Cihan Alptekin and further comrades went beginning 1969 for a guerilla education to Palestine. Mahir Cayan was however the large theorist. It wrote therefore sooner article and texts for various periodicals. Then the time, in which the country advanced would revolutionize together with the fascists more hard against that and tried to destroy this, came. Mahir and its friends emerged out of the HINT and decided would revolutionize one party to reasons, the THKP-C (people release front and party of Turkey). To the founders, Mahir Cayan, Yusuf Küpeli, Münir Ramazan Aktolga, Ulas Bardakci, Ertugrul Kürkcü, Hüseyin Cevahir belonged and to Irfan Ucar. Because the THKO (Türkiye Halk Kurtulus Ordusu - people release army of Turkey) had begun under Deniz Gezmis with its actions, Mahir Cayan were forced to accelerate the THKP-C its actions and caught to secure therefore at banks auszurauben around the financial receipt of the party. The THKP-C and the THKO were in the cities active in contrast to the TKP/ML TIKKO under Ibrahim Kaypakkaya and Ali Haydar Yildiz, that operated in the mountains.
The THKP-C and THKO collaborated also often. It should follow a larger action of the THKP-C: on the 17 May 1971 escaped Mahir Cayan and its comrades the Israeli Elrom and placed two demands on the government: 2. showing the program of the THKP-C in the country television TRT.
The country turned in however not and hung an exit barrier in Istanbul from in order to be able to search all houses. There was thereupon a large discussion in the rows of the THKP-C what should happen with Elrom. Finally one decided would revolutionize for that to kill Elrom around the country the earnestness of that to show. There that would revolutionize killed had previously yet no persons, turned in the country never and could always intervention because he was able to be certain itself, that no hostages, but rather only that would revolutionize die would become. So Elrom was killed and began it a flight of Mahir Cayan and Hüseyin Cevahir that ended in a house of a general in Maltepe. At the same time they took the woman, the son and the 14-year-old daughter Sibel of the general as a hostage. Up to the daughter Sibel then however the remaining hostages were released shifted the police the house.
Exactly to this time, Mahir and Hüseyin got the message that Sinan Cemgil, Kadir Manga and Alparslan Özdogan in Nurhak had died what produced a sad disposition. How usually it approached a discussion between the policeman and that would revolutionize, said Mahir to Hüseyin Cevahir: „look, now I speak same and will show what it meant revolutionarily to its“ and roared after outside: „death the fascist wolfs. The independent Turkey lives. The Turkish republic lives. The death is welcome. The suppressed peoples will overcome the fascists“ and both singed thereupon a few songs. At that 1 June concluded to break out Mahir and Hüseyin and hidden therefore Sibel so that it could nothing zustoßen. However suddenly stormed the policemen the house and shot Hüseyin Cevahir. In its body, 25 balls were found. Mahir is arrested injured and is delivered into an offensive house. From there out of it was stuck into a prison because its state of health gebessert had itself. Outside of the jail now plans were forged to free around Mahir and its friends (Mahir was among other things with Ulas Bardakci and the THKO-Guerillero Cihan Alptekin in a cell). In the same time, that dug would revolutionize itself in the prison a tunnel after outside and could would weave so on the 29 November 1971 (Mahir, Cihan, Ulas, Ömer Ayna etc.) From this moment, the THKO and the THKP-C collaborated. For the revolutionary left, there was now only a goal: Deniz Gezmis to free Yusuf Aslan and Hüseyin Inan that should be hung. Therefore the THKO and the THKP-C planned a further kidnapping. On 25 March 1972 Mahir Cayan, Cihan Alptekin and further friends three American would escape. The demand this time was an immediate Freilassung of Deniz Gezmis and its friends. After a pursuit hunt escaped Mahir Cayan and 10 comrades of the parties THKO and THKP-C into a house in Kizildere. The house became shifts of several hundred soldiers. It came again to a dispute. Out of the house, slogans came as well as: „ Shit of WITH (Turkish secret service)“ and „we did not come around to return, but rather for dying.“ the soldiers concluded to bomb then the house and to put in debris and ash, in spite of the three American. So they stormed with heavy weapons the house. Mahir its friends had no chance. Up to Ertugrul Kürkcü, that had hidden itself in the garden, on the 30 March 1972 that died would revolutionize Mahir Cayan, Cihan Alptekin, Saffet Alp, Ömer Ayna, Sinan Kazim Özüdogru, Hüdai Arikan, Ahmet Atasoy, Ertan Saruhan, Sabahattin Kurt and Nihat Yilmaz. They however the three americans spared.......
