As a country, we are familiar with coalitions. We have experienced various types of coalitions in the last half century; none of them have lasted long. We have seen those formed with MPs from rival parties who were lured into positions of power and made ministers; and those that collapsed as partners fought to get ahead…

The last one  was the DSP-MHP-ANAP coalition formed under the prime ministry of Bülent Ecevit ; its life was cut short when MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli, who was suspicious of the intention of taking another party into the coalition instead of the other partners  ‘ party, called for early elections…

Let me not go into detail: The most interesting and longest-lasting one is the ‘People’s Alliance’ that has been going on since 2017   .

The interesting aspect of  the alliance is that the junior partner does not expect to be represented in the government. Bahçeli did not agree to give ministers from his party to the government, even though it was offered .

In the elections held in seven years, the MHP support ensured that the AK Party came to power and its candidate  Tayyip Erdoğan became president.

In the meantime, the ‘People’s Alliance’ also brought about a system change in the country  . The Parliamentary System , which had been operating since the foundation of the Republic  , was replaced by the two partners  with a ‘local and national’ new one, which  they called  the ‘Presidential Government System’  .

The ‘People’s Alliance’ has managed to continue its existence to this day with a harmony and unity of power never seen in previous coalitions  …

Now, for the first time, the two parties are testing each other.

The MHP expects the AKP to embrace the proposal that its leader  Devlet Bahçeli put forward during the group meetings and insistently stands behind; however, the AKP does not intend to take on the proposal due to the coldness of its leader  Tayyip Erdoğan , whose mouth is looked after on every issue.

There must be disappointment in the MHP on this issue, which they see as vital;  what will Bahçeli  do in this situation? Will he abandon his offer, or will his reaction go as far as withdrawing his support or even taking the country to early elections?

Is my analysis too advanced to make me ask this question?

So let me share the part of my analysis where partners test each other.

This is not the first problem the coalition has had; it is known that there have been disagreements on some issues before due to differences of opinion. Every disagreement has been left behind until now, either  after Tayyip Erdoğan visited  Devlet Bahçeli or  Devlet Bahçeli visited  Tayyip Erdoğan .

This time there are no visits, instead there are public statements.

President Erdoğan,  who is also the chairman of the AKP, did not even mention the offer repeated three times by  Bahçeli from the MHP podium  ; instead, he praised the MHP leader profusely and hid his reluctance between the lines of his speech.

The Minister of Internal Affairs   stepped in with the ‘trustee appointment’ practices.

 The dismissals started with Prof. Ahmet Özer, who was elected mayor of the Esenyurt Municipality of Istanbul from the CHP and who was also sympathized with by the DEM Party  , and extended from Mardin to Halfeti.

Bahçeli had ensured that Mardin’s mayor, Ahmet Türk , who had been dismissed twice before,  was finally released from prison   .

It was obvious that Mardin was a symbolic choice…

Halfeti was also  a direct response to Bahçeli ‘s proposal to come to the Parliament from İmralı and call on the PKK to lay down their arms from the DEM Party rostrum, thus allowing them to benefit from the “right to hope”.

Abdullah Öcalan ‘s birthplace is Halfeti…

Another symbolic choice…

 The AK Party should respond to Bahçeli , who is known to be keen on deciphering allegorical narratives  , with  three statements mentioning the name Öcalan and  the DEM Party podium, with symbolic choices, appointing three trustees…

How much longer will the conflict continue?

The answer to the question  was given by the small but powerful partner of the government in the article written by Hande Fırat the previous day,  using the adjective  “MHP circles” for the source.

From the response,  it is understood that MHP is serious about Bahçeli ‘s persistent  proposals to “end PKK terrorism.”

What they expect is for Öcalan to announce that PKK terrorism is over  …

These lines are important: “ According to the MHP, a step needs to be taken between İmralı and DEM for a solution, and government officials need to embrace this step. However, it is also emphasized that the decision on whether to take it or not belongs to the government. ”

MHP insists on its statements that are the result of multi-faceted evaluations of developments in the world and in the region and the aspects of those developments that concern Turkey.

But what if the government doesn’t respond as expected?

I would like to pay attention to the last sentence of the answer that starts with “ However ”: “ According to the MHP, Turkey does not have an election agenda for today. / However, according to the MHP, there are certain steps that need to be taken for both the constitutional amendment and for the TBMM to dissolve itself by finding 360 deputies when the time comes: “

MHP  has listed the conditions for Tayyip Erdoğan to be re-elected,  through  ‘constitutional amendment’  or  ‘advancing the election date’ .

First in line  is ‘solving the terrorism problem’  .

The order is as follows:

• Taking the necessary steps to solve the problem of terrorism and eliminate the risk of fault lines.
• Ending the problem of social segregation.
• Elimination of the effects of a major earthquake.
• The economy is on the mend.
• Implementation of some important reforms.

I hope that AK Party members   did not ignore this article because it appeared in  Hürriyet ,  which they regard as  ‘their own newspaper’ .

There are MHP exam questions in this article because if they are not answered or answered incorrectly, the grades will inevitably lead to the election date being brought forward…
