The first meeting of the Campaign was held last Sunday in London.
Representatives from the Workers Socialist League, Socialist Labour Group and Bolshevik Faction mapped out a programme of work for the next stage of the campaign.
Messages of support were sent by Workers Power and the IMG, who were both unable to attend due to pressure of other commitments.
It was agreed to establish a campaign bulletin, the first issue of which will be published on January 20.
It will contain a founding statement and news of campaign activities.
A series of meetings, to be held in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Loughborough, Brighton, the University of East Anglia and Thames Poly technic, were planned.
Combat fascists These meetings will stress the need to combat the activities of Turkish fascists in Britain, as well as explaining the general work of the Turkish Solidarity Campaign.
The organising meeting adopted the text ot a resolution prepared for labour movement organisations, and it was emphasised that the Campaign would seek concrete support and affiliations from a wide range of such bodies as well as sponsorship from prominent figures in the labour movement.
