Abstract

Political parties are indispensable elements of representative democracy and democratic political life today. It is impossible to consider democracy separately from political parties. The detention of Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) co-chairs, parliamentarians, mayors and some MPs due to the Kobani incidents has created a debate about the HDP's closure. The Kurdish political movement continues its political life, consisting of many components as the HDP and the Democratic Regions Party (DBP), and is considered to be the current addressees of the democratic politics. The fact that the HDP is taken under a terrorist grip and threatened with closure and that it is brought to the agenda today gains meaning as a policy.
Although the Constitutional Court has closed many political parties so far, the closed parties have been reopened under other names. Constitutional court decisions are discussed on the grounds that they prevent political parties from acting freely, prohibit civil politics, and narrow the field of civil politics. The European Court of Human Rights, on the other hand, stated that the application of prohibitive and restrictive sanctions as a last resort should be banned in activities that have reached the point of violence and terrorism, rather than punishing views within the scope of freedom of expression.
Our Constitution and political parties law, parties and will lead to the fragmentation of dividing the party officials of the Republic of Turkey, the State's unique structure in a manner to change the opinions of sliding forward and operation of, prohibits the making regionalism or racism. The Constitutional Court decided to dissolve political parties when they became the focus of acts contrary to the principle of “indivisible unity of the state with its country and nation”.
