					<description><![CDATA[Politics does not operate solely through platforms, party bylaws, and legal rules. Societies and political movements are also driven by emotions, identities, a sense of belonging, and collective psychology. Sometimes the apparent subject of debates within a political party may be a convention, an election, or leadership; however, the underlying mechanisms at work are quite different. The debate ceases to be purely legal and takes on a psychological and identity-based character. Republican People’s […]]]></description>

This is because the article does not merely assess political developments in Turkey; it frames these developments within the context of NATO, Europe, and regional security, presenting them as an international issue. Özgür Özel, the CHP’s General Chairman who was temporarily suspended from his duties, on 01 […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A significant part of political discussions are based on election results, alliances, polls and internal party balances. However, modern political psychology tells us something very different: Societies often follow identities, not ideas. This is why politics is not only a matter of economics, law or public administration. It is also a process of managing human psychology, sense of belonging and collective identities.
