It is expected that after negotiations to take place in the coming days, HUDA PAR will officially join the People’s Alliance. Following this, some items of the HUDA PAR program and parties are also included in the agenda. So, what is known about HUDA PAR?

HUDA PAR was founded on December 19, 2012 by Mehmet Hussein Yılmaz, head of the Mustazaf Der Association, which was closed due to its affiliation with the terrorist organization Hezbollah.

Participating for the first time in the 2014 elections, the party won between 1 and 8 percent of the vote in cities such as Ağrı, Batman, Bingol, Bitlis, Diyarbakır, Mardin, Mush, Siirt, Sirnak and Van.

Zekeria Yapıcıoğlu, chairman of HUDA PAR, previously reacted by stating: “I believe that Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization.”

The terrorist organization Hezbollah, which puts forward demands such as a “Sharia regime” and a “Kurdish Islamic State”, became famous in the 1990s for its murders, horrific torture and bloody executions. The organization, which at some time operated in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia, was also known in the region under such names as “Kurdish Hezbollah”, “Hizbul-Kontra” and “Hizbul-Wahset”.

Zekeria Yapıcıoğlu, chairman of HUDA PAR, has issued a statement in recent years saying, “I believe Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization.” Yapıcıoğlu, in this reactionary outlet, said: “According to the Republic of Turkey, Hezbollah may be a terrorist organization, but for me it is not a terrorist organization.” used words.

Yapıcıoğlu, chairman of HUDA PAR, who is expected to become one of the members of the People’s Alliance, announced that they will aim to “fulfill their demands” if they participate in the People’s Alliance.

Yapıcıoğlu stated in a press statement that they would support Erdoğan and said:If we tell any union or any party that these are our conditions, if you accept them, we can go together, we think that this will not be a very realistic position. But we have demands, we will make efforts to implement our demands in our own program, and if the union is realized, we will make efforts to make them come true.” used phrases. After this statement, the question “What is included in the program of the HUDA PAR party?” came to the fore.

The program of the HUDA PAR party includes a demand to change the definition of citizenship in the constitution and to remove the concept of “Turkishness” from the constitution.

However, in the relevant part of the party program”“Our Vow” and similar texts that smell of racism and are taught to younger students should be removed.

One of the party’s demands is that there be no “unchanging article” in the constitution.

In other words, according to HUDA PAR, the articles of the first four articles of our current constitution, which include provisions on “the form of the state, the signs of a republic and the integrity of the state, its official language, flag, national anthem and capital”, should also be open for discussion.

The section of the party’s program “Decentralization and strengthening of local self-government” states that “the mentality of centralized government is causing serious problems in the country.”

However, in the same section,With the improvement of the existing central and local state organizational structure, one should refuse to accept the existing structure as a taboo and freely discuss it on such models of government as state structure, autonomy and federation with all its positive and negative aspects. .” statements are included.

The HUDA PAR party program also includes great “education” items.

For example, in addition to the requirement to “cancel co-education”,Madrassahs must be improved, their original functions restored, and permits issued in madrasahs must be given official status.” statements are also included in the party program.

It is claimed that “the Republican ideology based on Turkishness and secularism persecutes Kurds and Muslims”.
