The ASP is largely composed of retired junior officers of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and seeks to represent soldiers' interests in politics. The party aims to provide a platform for officers to have a larger say in Turkish politics while improving civil-military relations that have historically been strained. The party claims that it speaks on behalf of over 1 million people, including military officers and their families.[2]

Activities

On 17 January 2018, the Constitutional Court of Turkey threw out a case involving the closure of the party, on the grounds that it had dissolved and had not undergone any congresses as required by law.[3]

On 18 May 2018, the AS Party announced its support for the People's Alliance in the forthcoming 24 June 2018 general elections.[4]
