The integrative modernization understanding of the AK Party comprising different races, cultures and social structures, unlike the opposition parties, makes the party the main actor in Turkish politics.

The AK Party derived its power from three main sources: First, a discourse of civilization allowed the movement to incorporate various political ideologies into its own platform…

After realizing that joining the anti-Erdoğan bloc with opposition parties would legitimize its presence, the PKK, by doing so, created itself a very large and comfortable zone to easily terrorize

The PKK's presence isn't derived from political conflicts with governments but their deep hatred for the state itself.

We will observe the unveiling of new political and electoral dynamics in the run up to the elections, but whatever happens on the political scene, resumption of the sense of political stability and predictability will be the key to support brave decisions that the security and economy bureaucracies might be expected to take in the coming days and months.

The MHP's political balance was shaken when Tuğrul Türkeş, not just an ordinary member of the party but also the son of the founder of the MHP, Alparslan Türkeş, accepted the position offered to him by PM Davutoğlu despite Bahçeli's opposition.

There's something special about each election cycle, but the November 2015 race will be extraordinary.

Economic stability should be dearly protected despite all political and security-related complications, as it represents the most concrete and rational barrier between the "old" and "new" Turkey.

There were two additional reasons, which deserve attention. One is short-term considerations and the second is ideological differences.

In line with its multidimensional foreign policy line in recent years, Ankara adopted an attitude of proactive engagement with major regional institutional organizations such as the Arab League, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Southern Common Market (Mercosur) and the African Union.

The developments following the elections and breakdown of the reconciliation process demonstrated that the HDP's unprecedented success in the elections was indeed a pyrrhic victory.

Here is a political hyperreality: Turkey, while fighting against all terrorist groups in the region, is somehow being portrayed to the world as if it is ignoring the threat.

Despite the tension between Turkey and PKK, Turkish foreign policy regarding the creation of a safe zone aims helping and protecting the Syrian Refugees.

Muhittin Ataman: “The people of Turkey expect a more responsible HDP to invite the PKK to get rid of arms and withdraw from the Turkish territory.”

Nowadays, the HDP and the PKK find themselves at a crossroads: They will either walk further down the path of violence or reinstate the cease-fire to maximize their gains in northern Syria and reap the benefits of peace in Turkey.
