It succeeded the historical Democrat Party and the Justice Party, two parties with similar ideologies. There have been four DYP governments since its foundation; one led by Demirel, the other three by Turkey's first and only female prime minister, Tansu Çiller. The party now has only 4 seats in the Grand National Assembly after faring badly in recent elections, when many voters defected to the Justice and Development Party (AKP). On 5 May 2007, it was announced that DYP and the Motherland Party (ANAP) would merge to form the Democratic Party (Demokrat Parti). For that occasion, DYP renamed itself (based on the historical Democratic Party), and it was planned that ANAP would join the newly founded DP. Shortly before the election, however, the merging attempt failed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DYP-ANAP Ayrıldı )〕 However, ANAP stated it would not contest the upcoming elections. After the DP only got about 6% of the votes in the 2007 election, Ağar resigned as party leader.〔(People's Daily Online - Turkish DP leader resigns )〕 True Path Party and Motherland Party ''(Anavatan Partisi)'' merged in November 2009. ==Brief background== The DYP was seen as a centre-right, Kemalist-conservative party. It has on occasion been compared to the AKP in terms of similar conservative structures, although each party comes from considerably different backgrounds. The DYP's history spans back to the historical conservative Democratic Party, established in 1946 with the introduction of a multi-party system in Turkish politics, whereas the AKP broke off as the more moderate wing of the disbanded Islamist Virtue Party. The modern DP's logo, a horse upon a red background, derives from the popular mispronunciation of its name, "Demokrat Partisi". The word "Demokrat" did not readily roll off the tongue of rural voters, who found it easier to say "Demir Kır At" ("iron white horse"). After the renaming in mid-2007, the logo became a white horse on a red map of Turkey in order to evoke this mondegreen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Democratic Party (Turkey, current)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
