Bolshevik Party (North Kurdistan – Turkey)

Bolshevik Party (North Kurdistan-Turkey) (in Turkish: Bolşevik Partisi (Küzey Kürdistan-Türkiye), abbreviated BP(KK-T)) is a clandestine communist organization in Turkey. It was founded as the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist (Bolshevik) in 1981, following a split from the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist.
Despite having the denomination "Kurdistan" in its title the party is not a Kurdish separatist organisation. Instead it follows the Leninist concept of the brotherhood of peoples.
