THE IDEOLOGICAL STANCE OF THE FREEDOM AND ACCORD PARTY
Öz
The Freedom and Accord Party was a party that left a significant impact on multi-party politics after the Second Constitutional Monarchy and on Ottoman political life during the War of Independence. The HIF came to the forefront, in particular, in filling the opposition vacuum left by the closure of the Ahrar Party following the March 31 Incident and in politically combating the Committee of Union and Progress. Thus, the Freedom and Accord Party succeeded in uniting under its umbrella both the conservative and liberal factions seeking a strong opposition to the Committee of Union and Progress. Therefore, after the Freedom and Accord Party attracted a wide range of opposition groups and Ottoman citizens from other ethnic backgrounds and incorporated them into its ranks, it did not, in fact, adopt an ideological line that differed significantly from that of the parties that joined it. In this sense, the Freedom and Accord Party continued the more liberal and decentralized political tradition that began with the Ahrar Party, along with the multi-party system established after the Second Constitutional Era, and was able to easily accommodate other smaller opposition parties with similar views.
