Yesterday, I had a meeting with a few people from the Kocaeli Provincial Organization of the Workers' Party of Türkiye (TİP). They welcomed me with great interest and I was happy. They listened to me, asked whether I had any questions I wanted to ask them, and we established a nice dialogue. I had never seen such a nice welcome in any political party before. Although I had previously been a member of the Republican People's Party (CHP), and before that I had no membership in any political party. For this reason, I had no political background either.
When the Republican People's Party was annulled with absolute nullity, I had resigned from the party, and afterwards I had not become a member of any party. Of my own volition, I joined the Workers' Party of Türkiye and became an active member. I joined the Workers' Party of Türkiye (TİP) not to participate in actions in the streets, but to observe the field and to report by shooting videos. In this way, I think I can contribute more to the party. In other words, I think that being a member of a political party is not only about participating in actions, but also that it would be more efficient to benefit the party in other areas where one can provide benefit.
At the Workers' Party of Türkiye Kocaeli Organization, Ms. Özlem welcomed me and took an interest. After a long conversation with her, she gave information about the party and talked about the work they do. In other words, she introduced the party in its true sense. Ms. Özlem was a very kind person with strong communication skills, and while we were chatting, two more gentlemen came and our conversation spread to a wider area, and we began to talk about different fields as well. We had a pleasant conversation and then parted ways.
I read the Bylaws of the Workers' Party of Türkiye and examined the Party Program. I recommend that you examine the Bylaws.
