The Motherland Party ( Turkish Motherland Party , shortly Anavatan or ANAP ) is a center-right oriented political party, and exists in Turkey, which existed from 1983 to 2009 again since 2011th
It was founded in 1983 by Turgut Özal , who was Prime Minister from 1983 to 1989 and then President of Turkey until his death in 1993. The party brought together various conservative and liberal currents. In socio-political terms, she stood for the synthesis of Turkish nationalism and Islamic traditions; in economic policy, she advocated liberalization and a free market economy . She was supported by parts of the Sufi Order of Nakşibendis , as well as the movement of Fethullah Gülen supported.
In the first four years of its existence, it played a dominant role in the political landscape of Turkey, reinforced by the restrictive constitution of 1982, which restricted political competition and pluralism. Until 1991 it remained by far the strongest force in parliament. Then it gradually lost its importance. In 2002 it fell below the 10 percent threshold and has not been represented in parliament since then. In 2009 it merged with the Democrat Parti , but was re-established two years later.
In 1999 the party had 3.2 million members. One reason for this relatively high number of members is the generally high degree of organization of the Turkish parties.
history
She formed the government from 1983 to 1991 (MP: Turgut Özal ) and from 1997 to 1998 (MP: Mesut Yılmaz ), and she was briefly involved in coalition governments in 1996 and 1999. During her first term in office from 1983 to 1989, she carried out economic reforms with the aim of privatizing and reducing state influence in the economy and advocated Turkey's accession to the EU . While the motherland party still achieved an absolute majority in the first parliamentary elections after the end of military rule in 1983 and 1987, its electoral base increasingly melted afterwards and especially after 1999. In addition to the growing competition from other newly established parties, such as the programmatic very similar - as the reason for this decline are the True Path Party (DYP) - also the Parteienfilz blamed internal infighting and favoritism in the reign Özal.
In the elections to the Turkish National Assembly in November 2002, she did not make the leap into parliament because she failed with 5.12% of the 10% hurdle . In the meantime, however, until July 20, 2007, due to parliamentary migration, it was again represented by 19 members in parliament. Since the catastrophic election defeat in 2002, the motherland party has been trying to renew the party in terms of personnel and content.
Merger and start-up
In order to have a better chance for the elections on July 22nd 2007 , the ANAP wanted to merge with the DYP. But a merger failed at the last moment. Reasons included Mesut Yilmaz's re-entry into the party, which was met with fierce opposition from Erkan Mumcu . Ultimately, the Motherland Party did not run for the 2007 election. Renegotiations with the DYP, which has been called the Democrat Parti (DP) since 2007 , led to the approval of an extraordinary congress on October 31, 2009 for a merger of ANAP and DP under the name DP.
On September 11, 2011, the party was re-established.
