Ötüken Union Party

The Ötüken Union Party is an ultranationalist Turkish political party founded on 20 December 2017. According to the party, in order to be considered a Turkish national, you need to have Turkish parents and Turkish as your native language. Alternatively, you should be so “awakened” that you have simply become aware of your innate “Turkishness” as any natural Turk. The party has also announced plans stop the refugee influx, cancel the citizenships of those who have migrated to Turkey from abroad, to have "Turkish"-only soldiers and police officers, and to ban marriage to foreign citizens. Upon the possibility that it comes to power, it would only allow “pro-Turkish lawmakers”. In addition, the party has singled out Turks as a superior race and they mentioned that “Our holy mission is to raise our race to a higher point. The goal of the Turkish race is to have authority over the entire world”.[1]
