The Greens Party (Turkish: Yeşiller Partisi also Yeşiller for short) or Green Party[1] is a green party in Turkey founded in 2020.[2] The Interior Ministry blocked the party from standing in the 2023 elections.[3][4]: 38
Regarding political associations, the 8th Administrative Court of Ankara found unlawful the stance of the Ministry of Interior, which prevented the establishment of the Green Party by not providing a 'received' certificate for the application and decided to stay the execution of the process. The Court of Appeal has since removed the stay of execution decision regarding the Ministry of Interior's act, the Green Party is again prevented from being established and the case is still pending. The file for the establishment of the Humanity and Freedom Party is pending before the Constitutional Court.
