Presentation of the Democratic Society Party

The Democratic Society Party (Demokratik Toplum Partisi - DTP) was established on 17 August 2005 from the merger of the DEHAP and the Democratic Society Movement (Demokratik Toplum Hareketi - DTH). Declared illegal and disbanded on 12 December 2009, the party was later succeded by the BDP.

Flags of the Democratic Society Party

The flag of DTP appears to have been designed primarily for vertical hosting, since its horizontal versions appear in most cases as the vertical version hoisted horizontally - without rotating the party's emblem.
As it is commonly the case with political flags, the flag of the DTP is used in different versions, all yellow with different renditions of the party's emblem:
- a vertical flag displayed horizontally, rose flower and leaves outlined in white (photo, photo) (as it is the case in the self-standing emblem);
- a horizontal flag displayed horizontally, rose flower and leaves outlined in white (photo, photo, photo);
- a vertical flag displayed horizontally, rose flower and leaves outlined in yellow (photo, photo);

The Democratic People's Party (Demokratik Halk Partisi - DEHAP) was founded on 24 October 1997 as the successor to the Kurdish party HADEP, which was banned on 13 March 2003 by the Constitutional Court.

The flag of the DEHAP showed the emblem of the party on a background whose colours varied from yellow to dark orange.
