Greens Party (Turkish: Yeşiller Partisi) was a green liberal party in Turkey. Being the 57th political party of Turkey, it was established on June 30, 2008 after years of preparation since 2002. A green party with the same name was established in 1988, but was closed down in 1994. Greens maintain local branches and initiatives in İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Tekirdağ, and Antalya.[1] Greens were known as the Greens of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye'nin Yeşilleri, Yeşiller Partisi) prior to founding of the party. The party held its first general congress on June 6, 2010. In November 2012, it merged with the Equality and Democracy Party to form the Greens and the Left Party of the Future.
