More specifically, TKP will host a delegation of the KKE within the framework of comprehensive program of visits, meetings and political events throughout Turkey, including major cities Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya and Adana.
As tkp.org.tr reports, the KKE delegation is comprised of Giorgos Marinos, MP and Political Bureau member, Eliseos Vagenas, member of the CC and head of the International Relations Section and Aris Evangelidis, member of the Party's International Relations Section. The TKP will be headed by General Secretary Kemal Okuyan and Central Committee members Ekin Sönmez, Senem Doruk, Ozan Yılmaz, as well as other party cadres.
The political framework of the visit is also related to the struggle of the two parties against NATO, as it was expressed in the KKE and TKP's joint statement last February, on the 70th anniversary of Turkey and Greece's accession to the imperialist alliance: “The contemporary struggle against NATO, against every imperialist union is a struggle for peace, the friendship of peoples, against class exploitation, capitalist barbarity, for the new socialist-communist society.”
