Abstract
Energy as a branch of state security has traditionally been at the forefront in the Republic of Turkey. This is due to the obvious natural resource constraints. Nevertheless, different participants in the Turkish political process have different views on how and how to ensure the country’s energy security and stability.
The Justice and Development Party of Turkey, led by President R.T. Erdogan, has been ruling for more than 20 years. In 20 years, the party and its head have been able to build a stable energy system in Turkey by diversifying energy supplies. Nevertheless, the AKP is facing increasingly serious challenges to its de facto sole authority, which opens the way to numerous hypotheses about how policy in this area may change under the new government in Turkey.
The specific approaches of the key parliamentary parties to the energy sector are mainly contained in separate energy subsections of the programs. Their content generally correlates with the political orientations of the parties, however, given the crucial importance of energy for Turkey, each party strives to introduce certain features in its programs in order to attract voters.
