AK Parti to hold 25th anniversary rally in Ankara
AK Parti is preparing to celebrate its 25th anniversary with a major rally at Ankara's Başkent Millet Bahçesi on August 14. The event, featuring President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of participants. The program will include a symphony orchestra, a mehter band, and a drone show to commemorate the party's quarter-century journey.
Party officials, including Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman, have framed the anniversary as a transition toward a second 25-year period, emphasizing goals such as a new constitution and a 'terror-free Turkey' vision. Meanwhile, party founder Bülent Arınç has offered critiques, calling for a return to original principles and a greater emphasis on meritocracy.
In a separate political development, President Erdoğan is scheduled to meet with a DEM Parti delegation, including Pervin Buldan and Mithat Sancar, at the Presidential Complex. The meeting is expected to focus on the implementation of the recently passed framework law and the roadmap for its application.
