The text is 244 pages long and is written in Turkish so I translated a couple that concerns Europeans the most.
1- We’ll work towards completing our goal of joining the European Union by working on justice, dialogue, and equality.
2- The Aegean Sea should be seen as an area of peace, cooperation, and good neighbourship. We’ll work towards achieving this goal.
3- We’ll make our fight against corruption fully compatible with the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO).
4- We’ll make sure our country is going to actively be in the innovative EU ecosystem.
5- We’ll support finance and service factories that agree on the rules of The European Green Deal.
6- Full membership in the EU is our goal.
7- We will fix our relationship with our neighbors and improve it to a higher state.
8- We’ll respect the freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of those around us and won’t intervene in their internal affairs, and won’t pick sides but help resolve the problems.
9- We’ll look towards resolving our national lawsuit of Cyprus in an equal and permanent way. We’ll protect the rights of Turkish Cypriots and look towards equality between the two peoples.
The text includes several points about protecting the right to protest by making our laws compatible with EU laws, working towards fixing our relationship with Armenia, and strengthening our ties with our current friends.
They also mention they’ll review the agreements about refugees again and try to make the refugees leave by not breaking the rules of human rights.
They also talk about changing our laws about human rights to be compatible with Europe and working towards a more futuristic society by changing our education system.
Their ideas seem a lot better to me than Erdoğan’s let’s hope people actually vote for them.

Good luck in the election
I hope they can beat Erdogan.
They gonna win
They can talk all they want, Erdochad will crush them in the polls, especially with the Turkish state behind him.
Hahahaha firstly eu should decide they are supporting erdogan or not
Although the large number of parties may seem like an advantage, it also creates major disadvantages. Everyone knows that this alliance will not continue in a healthy way after winning the election. There are non-alliance parties that are ideologically close to these parties, although they are very weak at the moment, they will be strong in the next election. Erdogan says to his close circle that even if we lose, there will be a new election in 2 years, we will win again. It is also clear that the AKP will not be able to protect its deputies, mayors and media power. Of course, they will lose power when the party moves away from power, of course, if the Opposition displays good governance… 3 of the 6 parties are already hated the most by the other 3 party supporters.
did they decide on a candidate yet?
Why do europeans actually think anything will change if Erdogan goes? things in turkey might change but they wont magically stop attacking greece or let Sweden and finland into nato like some people here belieave
Hope, this time, the opposition fares better than in Hungary.
That sounds pretty exciting. As long as they keep their promises.
Please good people of Turkey, get rid of Erdogan, who wants to be a dictator.
i hope this will not end in the same way as in hungary , good luck to them!
