The İyi Party, which translates to "Good Party" in English, is a political party in Turkey that was established on October 25, 2017. It was founded by Meral Akşener, a former member of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), along with other dissidents from the MHP and individuals from various political backgrounds. The formation of the party was a response to the growing dissatisfaction with the existing political landscape in Turkey, particularly with the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the perceived authoritarian drift of the country under President Recep Tayyip…   Erdoğan.

The İyi Party positions itself as a center-right, nationalist, and secular political entity. Its values and policies are rooted in the principles of parliamentary democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. The party advocates for a strong and independent judiciary, a free press, and a democratic political system where power is balanced and checked. It emphasizes the importance of Turkey's secular traditions and the need to protect and promote individual freedoms and rights.

Economically, the İyi Party supports free-market policies but also stresses the importance of social welfare programs to address inequalities. It aims to create a more inclusive and prosperous economy that benefits all segments of society. The party is also critical of the government's foreign policy, advocating for a more balanced and independent approach in international relations. It emphasizes the importance of strengthening ties with the West, particularly the European Union and NATO, while also maintaining good relations with neighboring countries.

National security and counter-terrorism are also key concerns for the İyi Party, which advocates for a strong and effective defense policy to protect Turkey's borders and ensure the safety of its citizens. The party's stance on the Kurdish issue is to seek a peaceful and democratic solution that respects the rights and identities of all citizens within the framework of Turkey's territorial integrity.

In summary, the İyi Party represents a blend of nationalism, secularism, and democracy, aiming to offer a moderate and inclusive alternative to Turkey's current political direction. It seeks to address the concerns of those who feel marginalized by the polarization and authoritarian tendencies in Turkish politics, advocating for a return to democratic norms, economic prosperity, and a balanced foreign policy.
