They consider themselves as nationalist, socialist and Kemalist. They often promote Nationalism, Socialism and Secularism. However, unlike many socialists, they criticise Marx often and they consider Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and Sultan Galiev as ideologues of Turkic Socialism. They are influenced by Attila İlhan, Doğan Avcıoğlu and Şevket Süreyya Aydemir also.
The group published ''Türk Solu'' and ''İleri'' and founded a political party called Ulusal Parti.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ataturkcuparti.org/|title=Atatürkçü Parti Geliyor!|work=Atatürkçü Parti|access-date=13 January 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304232816/http://www.ataturkcuparti.org/|archive-date=4 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.turksolu.org/269/basyazi269.htm|title=Gökçe Fırat Atatürkçü Parti'ye çağırıyor|newspaper=TÜRKSOLU Gazetesi|access-date=13 January 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111019002914/http://turksolu.org/269/basyazi269.htm|archive-date=19 October 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ulusalparti.net/|title=Ulusal Parti|publisher=Ulusal Parti|access-date=13 January 2012}}</ref>
