The Free Cause Party (Шаблон:Lang-tr, abbreviated as HÜDA PAR,Шаблон:Efn Шаблон:Lang-ku) is a Kurdish Sunni Islamist political party in Turkey.

History

Roots

Following the decision to end armed struggle in 2002, activists of the Hizbullah's Menzil group founded an association called "Solidarity with the Oppressed" (Шаблон:Lang-tr or short Mustazaf-Der) in 2003.Шаблон:Efn[1] It also became known as the Movement of the Oppressed (Шаблон:Lang-tr). On 18 April 2010, Mustazaf Der organized a mass meeting in Diyarbakır to celebrate the anniversary of the Islamic prophet Muhammad's birthday (known as Mawlid). The Turkish police estimated that the event was attended by 2 million people. The organizers put the figure at over 2.5 million people.[2]

On 20 April 2010, a court in Diyarbakır ordered the closure of the Association for the Oppressed (Mustazaf-Der) on the grounds that it was “conducting activities on behalf of the terrorist organization Hizbollah.”[2] The decision was confirmed by the Court of Cassation on 11 May 2012.[3]

In late 2012, the Movement of the Oppressed announced its will to found a political party, to challenge the hegemony of the left-wing and Kurdish nationalist Peace and Democracy Party.[4] On 17 December 2012, the Free Cause Party (Hür Dava Partisi) was founded.[5] On 9 January 2013, the general headquarters in Ankara was opened.[6]

Societies affiliated with HÜDA PAR operate under the umbrella organisation Lovers of the Prophet (Шаблон:Lang-tr, Шаблон:Lang-ku) particularly active in Kurdish Mawlid meetings.[7]

The party supported the ruling People's Alliance in the elections of 2023.[8]

Ideology and policies

The party has been described as "an extreme Islamist party" and as "the political wing of the Iranian-backed Kurdish Hizbullah".[9][10] The Association for Solidarity with Mustazafs (Turkish: Oppressed) (Mustazaf-Der) was established in 2004 to support those arrested and their families as a result of the police operation named as Beykoz Operation targeting Hezbollah. The association was closed in 2012 on the grounds that it was a continuation of Hezbollah. After the association was closed, then, since it was difficult to close political parties in Turkey, Movement of the Oppressed (Шаблон:Lang-tr) continued its activities by founding the Free Cause Party.[11][12][13]

Free Cause Party calls for the constitutional recognition of the Kurds and Kurdish language, mother tongue education, the end to the 10 percent election threshold, and the decentralization of state power and strengthening of local administration.[14] The party also advocates for restrictions on the freedom of religion and worship to be lifted, the headscarf ban ended, wants adultery criminalized, and religious marriages to be recognized.[15] Moreover, the party demands that the Turkish state apologize to Kurds and reinstate the original names of Kurdish-populated places.[16] The party has largely been silent on the question of Kurdish autonomy or independence from Turkey.[17] The party is opposed to LGBT rights, and routinely denounces the HDP, a left-wing party supporting Kurdish minority rights, for supporting it.[18][19] Despite forming from a splinter group that made promises to end armed struggle, third-party sources describe the party as strongly affiliated with the Kurdish Hezbollah.[20][21][22] SomeШаблон:Who have pointed out that the party's abbreviation, "Hüda-Par", is synonymous with "Hezbollah", both meaning "Party of God".[23]

Elections

The party supported Erdoğan in the 2018 presidential elections and again in 2023.[24][25] Since its creation in 2012, HÜDA PAR has contested the two parliamentary elections of June 2015 and 2018, while it chose not to run for the November 2015 elections.[26] The party entered the 2023 Turkish general election as part of the Justice and Development Party list.[27] Four Free Cause Party members of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey were elected.[28]
