Özet:

The objective of the study is to determine which issues are put in front of the political parties’ election statements. The political parties will also be concerned whether in different elections the different issues will be put forward. This study discussed the general elections of 2002, 2007, 2011, 2015 (1 November) and the 2018 presidential elections. The voting statements of the parties winning the right to enter the parliament are examined by the content analysis technique from the quality research methods.   Thro the elections, four main issues have been examined.  In general, the parties are focused on these four topics. These topics are in the form of democracy, economy, social life and culture-technology. When examining the four main topics which the party deals with the weight, it was seen that in different elections, the parties put these topics in a different degree in front. In the 2002 and 2007 elections, the AKP and MHP emphasized more on democracy, while in the 2011, 2015 and 2018 elections, the CHP appeared to be more on the forefront of democracy. The theme of social life appears to be more emphasized by MHP in 2002 elections, CHP in 2007 elections, AKP in 2011 elections, CHP in 2015 elections and AKP in 2018 elections. While MHP has more emphasis on cultural and technological values in the 2002 and 2011 elections, it appears that the AKP has more emphasis in the 2007, 2015 and 2018 elections. When the election statements are examined in terms of economic values, MHP is more emphasized in the 2002 elections, while in other elections the AKP is clearly in the forefront.
