The Kurdistan Toilers' Party (Kurdish: حزبی زەحمەتکێشانی کوردستان, romanized: Hizbî Zehmetkêşanî Kurdistan, also known as Zahmatkeshan) was founded in 1985 by Qadir Ezîz and Ebdulxaliq Zengene as a splinter of the short-lived alliance Kurdistan United Socialist Party (HSYK), which had included the Kurdistan Socialist Democratic Party, the Socialist Movement of Kurdistan and the two splinters of the South Kurdistan Movement.[3] They had belonged to the left wing of the party and had criticized the leadership for abandoning socialism in favor of tribal democracy.[4]
