Nationalist Labor Party (1985-1993)

The Nationalist Labour Party (MHP), born at the Adana Congress of the Republican Peasant National Party (CKMP), carried out its political activities within the framework of the "Nine Light Doctrine" under the leadership of Alparslan Turkes. The MHP, which witnessed the September 12, 1980 Coup, which was the result of violence in depression-sedimented Turkey in the 1970s, suffered greatly from the violence and coup, just like other parties. The court case of MHP and idealistic Organizations filed after the coup has become one of the longest-running political cases in Turkey; this lengthy judicial process has put the MHP and its idealists in danger of disintegration. During the re-democratization process, which began on April 24, 1983, the shock and country conditions in the idealists' segment led to the dispersion of some former MHP members and their shift to other right-leaning parties of the period. The Conservative Party (MP) (1983–1985) was founded under these circumstances by a group of former MHP members who adopted a more idealistic view. To regroup the MHP members and the disbanded idealists under one flag, many presidents were soon replaced due to the limited democratic conditions imposed by the established MP and the failure to fully establish central authority. The MP-I ordinary congress was conducted on November 30, 1985 with the aim of ensuring stability and to better know the old idealists throughout the country. The Nationalist Labour Party (MCP) (1985–1993), which was the main subject of the work, was born in the congress by changing the name and emblem of the party. In the Nationalist Labour Party, problems of central authority and leadership continued. However, this problem was resolved when alparslan Turkes, the natural leader of the party, became the leader at the November 27, 1988 II. Ordinary Congress. The party continued its organization efforts throughout Turkey with its congresses, and the number of MYK members was continuously increased by trying to exclude the party from being an inward-closed structure. As a result of these organization and recovery efforts, the nationalist and idealist view were awarded the right to represent its ideology again after 11 years with the 1991 elections in which it was listed as the Welfare Party (RP) in the Parliament. The MCP received the MHP's name and emblem rights at a meeting of the members of the last General Administrative Council (GIK) of the MHP after the political parties that were closed before the coup were given the right to be re-established. Since January 24, 1993, the Nationalist Movement Party under the leadership of Alparslan Turkes has maintained its presence in the political arena.
