Workers Vanguard Party of Kurdistan

Workers Vanguard Party of Kurdistan (in Kurdish: "Partîya Pêşeng a Karkerî Kurdistan", PPKK, in Turkish: "Kürdistan Öncü İşçi Partisi") was an Kurdish underground political party in Turkey.

The party was founded on April 22, 1975.

PPKK published "Pêşeng".

In 1992 PPKK merged with Kürdistan Ulusal Kurtuluşçuları-Sosyalist Eğilim (KUK-SE) and Kurdistan Liberation Organization ("Kürdistan Özgürlük Örgütü", KAK), to form the United People's Party of Kurdistan ("YEKBÛN").
