Agree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

Disagree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

Strongly disagree

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

While this stance allows for some recognition of same-sex relationships, it still involves legalizing same-sex marriage, which the AKP opposes. The party's conservative base is generally against any recognition of same-sex relationships, even with the provision allowing churches to refuse same-sex ceremonies.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey has a conservative stance on social issues, including same-sex marriage. The party has not shown support for the legalization of same-sex marriage. For instance, in 2013, when the Gezi Park protests included demands for LGBT rights, the AKP government responded with police force.
