Nationalist Movement Party

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli, on June 7, reiterated that his party favors Turkey to go to the polls at the scheduled time, slated for June 2023.

"Whether they like it or not, the election will be held on time, and the date of that democratic appointment is June 2023," he said addressing his lawmakers in parliament.

Those who want justice and prosperity in Turkey should join the main opposition Republican People's Party, its leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has said.

Nine military bases established by the United States in Greece are a threat to Turkey's national security, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli said on May 31.

Some 145,300 saplings, a reference to 1453, the year of the conquest of Istanbul, have been planted in the Atatürk Airport National Park in Istanbul, a venue that will be Turkey's biggest national park when finished.

The law was prepared by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party, AKP and its far-right partner, the Nationalist Movement Party, MHP.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) have submitted a draft bill to parliament against digital disinformation that stipulates a prison sentence of up to three years against those who knowingly disseminate misleading information via social media.

Leaders of political parties issued messages on the occasion of the Eid al-Fitr, with the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) party leader suggesting that Turkey needs a major change for its future.

"For a genuine feast in Turkey, we need a major change and the prevalence of meritocracy," Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said in a message on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

A senior official of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has said a legislative bill will soon be submitted to parliament in an effort to regulate the digital platforms in line with the universal standards, such as the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) chair Devlet Bahçeli has criticized Garo Paylan, a lawmaker from the ranks of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), for submitting a bill to the Turkish parliament for the recognition of the 1915 events as genocide.

Turkish authorities have imposed restrictions on the visits of Syrian refugees living in Turkey to Syria during the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

Each year, thousands of Syrian refugees cross the border into Syria to celebrate the holiday, which marks the end of the Islamic holiday month of Ramadan, and then return to Turkey.
