politicized, and the struggle within the power bloc has intensified. As a result, AKP implemented more ambitious survival strategies and deepened authoritarianism by changing the political regime from a parliamentary to a presidential system in 2017 and further authoritarian and consolidation efforts in 2019 (Akçay 2020). The 15 July 2016 attempt has been a significant trauma for the country. The state of emergency declared after the coup attempt of 15 July was legalized after 2017 and converted to standard applications, weakening many elements such as the freedom to speak of a democratic regime and the right to protest and criticize. The reforms, among other measures, abolished the position of Prime Minister and designated the President as both heads of state and government, effectively transforming Turkey from a parliamentary regime into a presidential one. The new system, which was accepted with a referendum in 2017, brought difficulties to real democracy, weakened the parliament, and took a serious step toward the one-person system. According to the Freedom House report 2021, Turkey is a “not free” country (https://freedomhouse.org/country/turkey/ freedom-world/2021). According to this report, prosecutions and campaigns of harassment against opposition politicians, prominent members of civil society, independent journalists, and critics of Turkey’s increasingly aggressive foreign policy continued throughout the year. In December, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) called for the immediate release of Selahattin Demirtaş, leader of the Kurdish- oriented People’s Democratic Party (HDP), who had been imprisoned since 2016 politically motivated charges; European Court of Human Rights decision was ignored. New arrests of HDP members and leaders were carried out during the year, adding to the thousands who have been detained since 2016. Thousands of people were arrested without evidence on terrorist charges (Tuncer 2022, DOI: 10.21275/SR2220 5223430). It would not be right to talk about an Islamic party until the (Justice and Development Party) AKP government. Parties established in the history of democracy in Turkey Virtue Party (FP), Welfare Party (RP), National Order Party (MNP), Islamic Democratic Party (İDP), Democratic Party (DP), Motherland Party (ANAP), Justice Party (AP) and Felicity Party (SP) were established by people who adhere to Islamic values. However, they were not parties aiming to change the administrative system in Turkey. Most of these parties are forced closed and not alive now. III. T he P artnership of O pposition P arties, “ N ation A lliance” The Republican People's Party (CHP), Democracy and Leap Party (DEVA), Democrat Party (DP), Future Party, IYI Party, and Felicity Party (SP) came together to ally to return to Democracy and re- strengthen weakened democratic institutions. Against the "Alliance of the People" created by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the ultra-nationalist Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), six-party unity named the alliance they started as the "National Alliance": Within the framework of the Nation Alliance, the six-party leaders have met three times in the last two months, apart from the Technical meetings of the relevant people in their parties. In the first, the consensus text studied was explained. In the second and third, they discussed the details of the issues they agreed on. It was concerned for the last time what the characteristics of the person to be nominated in the presidential election to be held in June 2023 would be. The qualifications to be sought in the candidate focus on merit, democracy, and understanding of the law. The course of the Orban regime in Hungary shows similarities with the Erdogan regime in Turkey. The opposition’s mistakes in Hungary led to the start of the second Orban period (https://balkaninsight.com/ 2022/04/08/democracy-digest-aftermath-of-hungary-ele ction/). Again, the errors of the left-wing parties in the French presidential election forced the French people to choose between two people they did not want, Macron and LePen (Tuncer 2022 DOI; DOI: 10.21275/SR2242 5180331). The components of the Nation Alliance must act by taking lessons from the examples of Hungary and France and be aware of their grave responsibilities. IV. C ritical A nalysis of the C onsensus T ext On February 28, 2022, the Republican People's Party (CHP), Democracy and Atılım Party (DEVA), Democrat Party (DP), Future Party (GP), IYI Party, and Felicity Party (SP) presented the "Reinforced Parliamentary System" report to the society. There is a word. “If the king is good, there is no need for law; if the king is bad, the law has no effect.” There is no need for constant new changes with qualified managers. The implementation will be wrong no matter how good you make laws with evil rulers. Briefly, the titles of the critical analysis of the six parties’ consensus text could be summarized below; 1. Even though the Strengthened Parliamentary System advocates the separation of powers, it undertakes tasks that prevent the power of the parliament from being as it should be. In particular, on six subjects give the Councils of Judges and © 2022 Global Journals Volume XXII Issue V Version I 22 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2022 F The Unity of the Six Opposition Parties in Turkey, the Analysis of their Consensus, and it’s Meaning in Terms of Democracy
