The Constitutional Court (AYM) has issued its ruling regarding the application concerning the name and emblem of the YENİ Party. The High Court rejected, by a majority vote, the request to declare the party's name and emblem invalid and to strike it from the political party registry.
The application, which was deliberated by the General Assembly of the Constitutional Court, was based on the claim that it violated the Law on Political Parties No. 2820. With this decision, the YENİ Party will continue to use its current name.
The process began following an objection filed by the Yenilik Party on the grounds of name similarity. Following the application, the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor of the Court of Cassation had granted the YENİ Party a period of time to change its name.
After the given period expired, the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office brought the request for the invalidation of the party's name and emblem and its removal from the political parties registry to the Constitutional Court. With the Constitutional Court's rejection, the request in question was not accepted.
