Paul Dumont, The impossible revolution. The oppositional trends in Anatolia 1920-1921.
Immediately after the Moudros armistice which delivered Turkey, bound head and foot at the mercy of the Allied, the ideas of the October revolution began to be accepted with real sympathy by certain sectors of the Turkish public opinion. The press and reports of diplomatic agents of this period advise of the existence of numerous smallish groups of communist inspiration in Anatolia. Through lack of sufficient data, only some of these organizations emerge up to a point from obscurity. Created in May 1920, the Green Army (Yeşil Ordu) was at its beginning a small secret association whose object was to fight the anti-nationalist propaganda organized by the Istanbul Government. Very rapidly it turned towards a kind of pan-touranian communism, taking up the position against the moderate policy of Mustafa Kemal. It was forced to suspend its activities on demand of the kemalist Government towards the middle of July, but its activity was taken up within the Great National Assembly by a parliamentary opposition group, the Halk zümresi (popular group). Later on, two other organizations will appear: the Turkish communist party (Türkiye komünist firkasi), official formation created in October 1920 by the political personalities of Mustafa Kemal's set, and the people's communist party (Turkiye halk iştirakiyyûm firkasi) . This last party will be the only one to be endorsed by the IIIrd International, whilst the candidacy of the governmental party will be rejected. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
