Talk:Democrat Party (Turkey, current)

Untitled

True Path Party is founded by Husamettin Cindoruk in 1983, Mr Demirel was banned from political activities with other Political Leaders whom was active before 1980. He can return to Political area in 1987 with the lift of political bans by TBMM. Although he couldn't found the party, he backed it very much so most of the Justice Party supporters joined DYP instead of military junta backed Motherland Party(ANAP). But don't confuse this military junta support for ANAP as other Junta's support of a political party anywhere on the globe.

Merger

I would like to propose this article is merged with Democratic Party (Turkey, historical). The current party was actively launched as a continuation of the original Bayar/Menderes party, and one man (Süleyman Demirel) has been previously involved in both incarnations.

It is true that the original DP was closed following the 1960 coup and replaced by a party of a different name, the Justice Party (AP). The new merged article I propose would include a blurb on the AP with a link to the main article. The True Path Party, which succeeded the AP, is already covered only (and briefly) in the history of the current DP's page.

I understand that the historical and current articles have been kept separate because the two parties were legally separate entities. I have opened this debate because I am sure there are some who would still defend this view. My argument, however, is that the historical DP, the AP and the DYP are all successive episodes in the story of a political movement that is today the current DP.

For somebody wanting to understand the history of one of Turkey's oldest lasting parties, one article is always better than four. I am happy to connect the various page and write the merged article myself - I just need to know my work won't be dismantled. Mikedaventry 16:57, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I personally don't mind a merger even though I have some concerns. To avoid OR, we may need good sources that point out they are in fact one movement (pointing out the 'number of common prominent politicians' of DP and AP might help). Then we also have to think about ANAP (even AKP) which might be considered a successor to DP, as well; at least they might claim the legacy of DP (Tayyip Erdogan might have done that, I vaguely remember something like that). WP:Size also might become an issue. Deniz^T_C 14:43, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

A continuation claim is not enough for me to accept such a merger. I can stand up and say that I formed the Adalet Partisi and it is the successor of the one Süleyman Demirel leaded some years ago but, clearly, that wouldn't be enough to mark them as the "same thing".

Even I don't support the merge. It seems to me that the two parties are actually two different parties and deserve to different articles. --Checco 02:43, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree, they are very, very obviously entirely different. One could argue for merging the DYP article into this one, but certainly not the old DP one. —Nightstallion 21:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Indeed I would have preferred also a separate article for the late DYP. --Checco 01:03, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Currently as of 2004 !

Various subsections of the article seem to be added at different times. The outcome of 2007 elections is summerized . But the following sentence also exists:However, a number of independents have since joined the party, and they currently (as of November 2004) have 4 seats in Turkey's 549-seat parliament. If the last addition is after 2007, how come 2004 be called the current situation ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 19:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
