Turkey needs to avoid further deepening of polarizations, social fractures, corruption networks, economic mismanagement and the authoritarian trends of the executive power to the detriment of the legislative and judiciary powers. Turkey is ready for a CHP government whose main achievements will be a comprehensive democratic reform agenda, an economic environment boosting investments, new technologies, sustainable jobs and environment-friendly growth, social reforms, investment in education, EU membership process and external relations promoting confidence and exchanges in Turkey’s neighborhood. In his inaugural speech of the Congress, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu gave details of CHP’s policies to reach these goals and reiterated his call for the Party to unite behind its republican values and social-democratic agenda of reforms in the runup towards the elections of June 2011.
