History

This party was founded by the entrepreneur Remzi Aru in Nuremberg^[3] directly after the resolution on the Armenian Genocide. According to him, no party is more eligible for (especially Turkish) migrants in Germany. Experts see a clear proximity to Erdogan and the AKP and a "narrow choice basis", as the party would appeal primarily to Turks - of which only half may vote in Germany.^[4]^[5]^[6] The Alternative for Germany (German: Alternative für Deutschland; AfD) filed a complaint against the abbreviation ADD and won in the first instance.^[7]

In mid-December 2017, a regional association of AD-D was founded in Bavaria. The first regional chairman is the industrial engineer Taner Kaplan.^[8]

Elections

The party ran for the first time in the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2017.^[9] It achieved 0.15% of the second votes cast.

The state list of the AD-D in North Rhine-Westphalia was approved for the 2017 federal election. During the election campaign, the party posted pictures of Erdogan with a Turkish slogan that translates as "Turkey friends - stand with them! Give them your votes! Grow with them!" Nationwide, it received 0.1 percent of the votes in NRW 0.4%. In a few cities, the party became the strongest party among those parties that did not reach the Bundestag, for example in Herne with 1.2%.^[10]
