Using "Turkey will be good" as its slogan and a bright sun as its logo, ex-Turkish minister Meral Aksener has launched a new political party with a promise to shake up the country's politics.
"Turkey and its people are tired, the state is worn down and public order is unravelling," Aksener told hundreds of enthusiastic supporters at the founding event of the Good (Iyi) Party in the capital, Ankara, on Wednesday Oct 25,2017
"There is no other way [for Turkey] than a change in the political climate," said the 61-year-old, a prominent right-wing politician and former interior minister.
The party, which has adopted a centre-right platform, has been backed by five members of Turkey's 550-seat parliament, as well as other well-known public figures named in its constituent structure.
It lists pluralism, democracy, the rule of law, freedom of speech and nationalist values as some of its founding principles
