# In new-party name dispute, decision left to the Constitutional Court

Following an application by the Yenilik Party, the Court of Cassation (Yargıtay) Chief Public Prosecutor's Office sent Yeni Parti a notice regarding a name change; CHP leader Özgür Özel said they would not change the name, but if the Constitutional Court finds "there is confusion," they would proceed with a minor change.

## Where reports differ

- **Pro-government press** — Haber7 relayed a claim made by journalist Sinan Burhan on tv100: that Öztürk Yılmaz proposed giving up the party's name in exchange for being declared the presidential candidate during negotiations.
- **Opposition and foreign press** — Sözcü and Sputnik Türkiye focused on Özel's statements: according to legal experts, there is no name similarity, and the decision rests with the Constitutional Court.
