Abstract :

The formation of the Republic of Turkey after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of political parties in spite of the one-party atmosphere in the first year of the Turkish Republic created an atmosphere of democratic competition between the parties. The Republican People's Party, the first political party in Turkey, is currently the largest opposition in the ruling party. The purpose of this article is to explain the position of the Republican People's Party towards the Islamic Republic of Iran. Accordingly, the main question of this research is: what role do the Republican People's Party's identity ideas play in its position towards the Islamic Republic of Iran? The author of the article hypothesizes that the Republican People's Party's identity approaches influence the party's positions. This article analyzes the role of identity paradigms in the positions of the Republican People's Party by using descriptive-analytical methods and using library documents. This research is of practical purpose. The findings of the article show that the behavior of the Republican People's Party towards the Islamic Republic of Iran is based on cooperative policies.
