The YENİ Parti (New Party) has officially launched its provincial organization in Eskişehir, Turkey, with provincial chairman Talat Yalaz submitting the establishment petition to the governorship. Yalaz declared that the party's founding signifies a resurgence of hope for many who felt disillusioned with the current political climate.

"Today, this despair has given way to new hope, a new desire for power, and the motivation to march towards power," Yalaz told reporters. He emphasized that the party's establishment is not only a boost for Turkish democracy but also a beacon for millions. The party aims to foster a sense of renewed optimism and a drive to achieve power.

Yalaz expressed strong confidence that Eskişehir will become a "stronghold" for the YENİ Parti. He highlighted the city's historical significance, referencing its support for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during the National Struggle and its progressive stance after the Republic's founding. "You will all clearly see that the NEW Party will be the stronghold of this city," he stated, aligning the party with the city's modern, Atatürkist, and republican values.

The party is extending an open invitation to all individuals who align with Atatürk and the principles of the Republic, regardless of past political affiliations, to join their movement. Yalaz also provided an update on the party's organizational progress, noting that establishment procedures for most of the 11 districts in Eskişehir are nearing completion, with a few exceptions like Mihalgazi, Sivrihisar, and Günyüzü, which will finalize their processes shortly. The party plans to share its detailed management list and further information within the next couple of days.

Atatürk’le ve Cumhuriyet’le derdi olmayan herkesi partisinin saflarında siyaset yapmaya, halkın iktidar yolundaki yürüyüşüne katkı sunmaya davet ediyorum.
