The Democratic Society Party (Turkish: Demokratik Toplum Partisi, DTP) was founded in 2005. In the 2007 elections, the DTP received around one-fourth of the Kurdish people's votes in Turkey and formed a party group in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) with 21 parliamentarians.
The interests that the DTP represented in parliament and the political line to which the party adhered led to heated debates in Turkey. In the end, the party was banned by the Constitutional Court on December 11, 2009, for alleged links to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and for becoming a supporter, focal point and promoter of the violence.
