Social Democratic People's Party is "Sosyaldemokrat Halk Partisi", established by Murat Karayalcin in 2002. Social Democratic Populist Party is "Sosyaldemokrat Halkci Parti", established just after the merge of SODEP (Social Democracy Party) and HP (Populist Party). The abbreviation of both Social Democratic People's Party and Social Democratic Populist Party is the same, SHP. However, the latter joined CHP (Republican People's Party) in 1990s. Social Democratic People's Party was established after the resignation of Murat Karayalcin from CHP. Those two SHPs can have most policies in common, but this does not show that they are the same party. First of all, their logos are different. Older SHP (the "populist" one) had some lines surrounded by olive tree branches, younger SHP (the "people's" one) has an olive tree branch held by a man. Also, you should have provided sources to prove that SHP had been established in 1984 and is still functioning. Aegeansun 23:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
