Sterka Sor was a militant Kurdish leftist group active in the years 1975-1980. It was formed by Ali Riza Kosar and Alaattin Kaplan and their environment. It distinguished itself from other kurdish groups with its claim that Kurdistan was colonized by five countries and not four as other Kurdish groups stated. It was also known under the name of Bes Parcacilar (Partisans of Liberation of Five Parties). After Starka Sor was accused of the murder of Haki Karer, a leading figure of the Turkish left around Abdullah Öcalan, the environment of Öcalan vowed revenge. In 1978 the PKK was founded in memory of Karer, which following fought against Sterka Sor until it was defeated.
