Party Closure File

Closing down political parties (or getting them closed down) by courts is unfortunately an established tradition in Turkey. If we leave out the first opposition parties, who dissolved themselves following the threats wrapped as advice from above, 24 political parties in total have been closed down by the courts. We have seen socialist parties, and then the parties with Islamic and Kurdish identities getting closed down; however, a political party facing a closure case while in the office is a novelty for Turkey. It must be difficult to comprehend for the world the attempt to close down a political party by a court case, who won an election victory only eight months ago having a strong majority in the Parliament.
