History

edit

On 11 September 2011, the party was re-established, with the same ideology as the first organization. Its current president is İbrahim Çelebi.

On 9 March 2023, a pro-Erdoğan journalist, Mahmut Övür claimed that ANAP will join the People's Alliance.[3][4] Eventually, ANAP decided to support Sinan Oğan instead.
