Özet :

This paper evaluates how much the governing party in Turkey, Justice and Development Party (JDP) and the main opposition party, the Republican People’s Party (RPP) answer Alevis’ demands, through a news search on the Cumhuriyet Daily. It focuses on January 1, 2010–December 31, 2012, compares party programs, election bulletins. On 84 percent of the news on the JDP and Alevis, Alevi organizations criticize the JDP. On all of the news concerning the RPP and Alevis, the RPP supports Alevis, on half of them, it criticizes the JDP’s approach. The JDP perceives Alevism under the Islamic umbrella and does not embrace Alevis sufficiently. The RPP accepts Alevis’ differences and defends their problems’ elimination. Since the RPP is not in the office, what it could genuinely do stays an open question
