Kurdistan Toilers' Party

The Kurdistan Toilers' Party (Kurdish: حزبی زەحمەتکێشانی کوردستان, romanized: Hizbî Zehmetkêşanî Kurdistan, also known as Zahmatkeshan) was founded in 1985 by Qadir Ezîz and Ebdulxaliq Zengene as a splinter of the short-lived alliance Kurdistan United Socialist Party (HSYK), which had included the Kurdistan Socialist Democratic Party, the Socialist Movement of Kurdistan and the two splinters of the South Kurdistan Movement. They had belonged to the left wing of the party and had criticized the leadership for abandoning socialism in favor of tribal democracy.
