The Republican People's Party (Turkish: Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi or CHP) is the oldest Turkish political party, which established the Republican regime and the parliament in Turkey. The party's logo is six white arrows on a red background.

On domestic policy, the party is generally regarded as being social-democratic. Today, CHP is member of the Socialist International[1]. The party's logo consists of the Six Arrows, which represent the foundational principles of Kemalist Ideology: republicanism, nationalism, statism, populism, secularism, and revolutionism. These principles were formulated and propounded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the first leader of the Republic of Turkey. (It should be noted that these principles did not have the same meaning in the 1920s and 1930s in Turkey that they do in contemporary English.)
