[13][2][3][14][15][16]Main Opposition: CHPThe CHP, Turkey’s main opposition party, has occupied an ambivalent middle ground — expressing conditional support for peace while insisting on parliamentary primacy and transparency. [17][15][18][19][20][21][^22]Nationalist Opposition: İYİ Party and Zafer (Victory) PartyThe nationalist opposition has been the most consistent and vocal bloc against the peace process. A Rawest Research poll in mid-2025 found roughly 65% overall support for the peace process, rising to about 90% among Kurdish respondents but with 42% skeptical that the PKK would actually disarm. Party-base support splits dramatically: Yeniden Refah and AKP/DEM voters show 80-90%+ backing, CHP and MHP hover near 70%, while İYİ Party support drops to 34% and Zafer Party support to just 14%.
