In 1986, he played a key role in the publication of ’Ilk Adim’ the first legal socialist magazine of this period. In 1988, he became the editor of ’Yeniyol’ (the organ of the Turkish section of the FI). He also took an active part in the electoral campaigns of the far left in 1987 and 1989.
Although he ceased to be a formal member of the section in 1992, following a political disagreement, Necdet never abandoned his convictions or his activism: he pursued them under other forms and in other frameworks, particularly as a journalist who was known and respected for the quality of his professional work, whether in print or on television.
