True Path Party (DYP)

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said the Turkish nation will never forget those who took a tough stance during the Feb. 28 "post-modern coup."

Turkey's Yıldırım Akbulut, who served as both prime minister and parliament speaker, passed away on April 14 in Ankara, the Turkish capital. He was 86.

A parliamentarian for nearly two decades - from 1983 to 2002 - Akbulut had been receiving treatment at Ankara University Hospital.

Meral Akşener, a former deputy speaker of the Turkish Parliament, stated on Aug.

Cihan Paçacı is an ex-economy bureaucrat. He took on important tasks at the True Path Party (DYP) and later moved to the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). He is currently putting up a struggle alongside Meral Akşener.

I asked Paçacı questions about the new party they will form. Here's what he said:

When will it be established? 

An Ankara court has issued a subpoena for former Prime Minister Tansu Çiller in a case into the harsh army-led campaign that forced the resignation of Turkey's government in June 1997 - an event known as the "Feb. 28 process."

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was the chair of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) from the day it was founded on Aug. 14, 2001, until he resigned on Aug. 27, 2014, because he was elected the president, registering a total of 13 years and 13 days. He is back as the chair of AK Party after 998 days. 

Obviously some degree of "power contest" between the president and the prime minister cannot be avoided if both of them have a political background and strong aspirations to engrave their name on the list of people who contributed most to the advancement of his nation.

Talking about President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an?s performance on impartiality, yes, there are exceptional, faulty movements. For him to stand at rallies with the Quran in his hand is a propaganda fault. It is also another fault in impartiality for him to deliver speeches at town rallies during election time. 

The provisional candidate lists for Turkey's upcoming June 7 parliamentary elections were announced on April 15, finalizing the review process of the candidacy lists submitted by the country's political parties to the Supreme Election Board (YSK).

A total of 12 political parties have withdrawn from the June 7 parliamentary elections in Turkey, with 11 of them not submitting their lists of nomination candidates by April 7.

Eleven of the 31 political parties which were eligible to enter the elections on June 7 did not submit their lists, automatically disqualifying them from the election ballot.
