History
Greens Party (Turkish: Yeşiller Partisi) (website yesiller.org) was a green liberal party in Turkey. Being the 57th political party of Turkey, it was established on 30 June 2008 after years of preparation since 2002.
A green party with the same name was established prior to its establishment in 1988 (its founding President was former Health Minister Celal Ertuğ (in Turkish)). The latter was closed down in 1994, and its third and last President was Aydın Ayas, who took the eco-liberal turn for the party.
Greens maintained local branches and initiatives in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Tekirdağ, and Antalya. Greens were known as the Greens of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye'nin Yeşilleri, Yeşiller Partisi) prior to the founding of the party. The party held its first general congress on 6 June 2010.
In November 2012, it merged with the Equality and Democracy Party to form the Greens and the Left Party of the Future, YSGP for short.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Greens Party (Turkey)” as political party in Turkey. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as political party in Turkey. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2096117. VIAF identifies the subject as 174475323. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2023, 2008 and 2002.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
