Notes	Poverty, which has existed through history and still continues to exist, is an important problem against which many people have been struggling today. In order to overcome poverty, governments implement some policies. The spendings which are directed to the people whose income levels are under a certain rate of society's income levels form social protection expenditures. In Turkey, Social Assistance and Solidarity Encouragement Fund and the spendings of the foundations which operates in conjunction with this Fund, constitutes an important item in the social protection expenditures. Aforementioned foundations' organizational forms and success in their activities on lowering poverty level in Turkey is controversial. This study discusses the roles which the state should undertake so as to fight poverty, in terms of the different political currents. In this context, the social protection expenditures made in order to lower poverty in Turkey are examined in comparison with international data on this subject, and the activities of Social Assistance and Solidarity Encouragement Fund have been analyzed with the help of numerical data on this subject.
