The published program includes assessments regarding the party's ideological foundations, core principles, and political vision.
In the text, the Republic's founding philosophy, Atatürk's principles, the social democratic approach, and the emphasis on social unity were among the notable headings.
Three core intellectual foundations listed
In the program, the party's three core intellectual foundations were explained in detail.
Accordingly, Yeni Parti stated that it draws its primary reference from the Republic's founding philosophy, which is based on national sovereignty. It was noted that the ideal of an independent, democratic, and sovereign Turkey, shaped in line with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's goals of freedom, independence, civic consciousness, and contemporary civilization, serves as a guide.
The program also noted that contemporary social democratic values, which protect labor, strengthen justice and solidarity, guarantee human rights, and are based on a social state and participatory democracy, form the basis of its political approach.
As the third foundation, it was emphasized that the intellectual heritage of Anatolia and Rumelia, based on the love of humanity, conscience, tolerance, and the culture of living together, is an inseparable part of the common legacy.
Emphasis on the Six Arrows
In the program, a special section was also devoted to the Six Arrows, which constitute the core principles of the Republican People's Party (CHP).
The text stated that the Six Arrows—consisting of republicanism, nationalism, populism, statism, secularism, and reformism—are adopted while preserving the historical legacy and progressive essence of Atatürk's principles.
It was stated that these principles are addressed in line with the goals of democracy, freedom, equality, citizenship, justice, solidarity, public interest, independence, science, and continuous renewal.
'Turkey Alliance' defined
One of the notable sections of the program was the "Turkey Alliance" heading.
The text stated that the Turkey Alliance is not a narrow-scope electoral cooperation between political parties, but is defined as a common ground for those who demand justice, those seeking the fruits of their labor, those concerned about their children's future, and those who want to live in a democratic country.
In the program, it was stated that different segments of society—from workers to farmers, tradespeople to industrialists, youth to retirees, public employees to entrepreneurs, and scientists to artists—are part of this understanding.
Furthermore, it was emphasized that citizens from different ethnic backgrounds, beliefs, and lifestyles, as well as segments with different political views, have come together around the demand for justice, peace, prosperity, and change, from the east to the west of Turkey, and from its cities to its villages.
