Presentation of the IGD

The "İlerici Gençler Derneği, IGD" (English: Progressive Youth Association, PYA) was established on January 5, 1976 and it was the youth organization of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP).

The organization was banned on November 6, 1979 by the "İstanbul Sıkıyönetim Komutanlığı" (English: Istanbul Martial Law Command), but continued its activities until the September 12, 1980 military coup d'etat. The İGD underwent a number of organizational changes during the military regime as the youth wing of the TKP, which was dissolved in a series of mergers after forming the United Communist Party of Turkey (TBKP) together with the Workers' Party of Turkey (TİP), joining a new legal Socialist Unity Party in the early 1990s.

of Turkey, SHRFTU) (https://www.tustav.org/sureli-yayinlar-arsivi/atilim) issued on July 20, 1978. Even though the original image is a black and white picture, judging by its origins (a Communist related organization) and by another poster (https://www.tustav.org/yayinlar/afisler/TKP-igd-1-mayis-77-1.pdf) of the time, he colors are most likely a red horizontal background with the organization's initials (in Turkish) in white capitals in the middle.
