The former Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmed Davutoglu, the former ally of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, launched a new party yesterday, which he said was aimed at opposing the policy of "cult of personality", and vowed to return the country to parliamentary democracy and expand the base of rights and freedoms, and a few days after the announcement of the former ally Erdogan, the former deputy prime minister and economy minister, Ali Babacan, will launch his party in the coming weeks.

Davutoglu (60 years) was prime minister between 2014 and 2016, after he occupied the foreign portfolio, before he split from Erdogan, who has ruled Turkey for 16 years.

"As a party, we reject the style of politics in which personality and negative employees are worshiped," said Davutoglu, standing under a huge banner bearing the image of the founder of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, during a ceremony for the launch of the party in Ankara.

A delegation comprising close to Davutoglu had submitted, yesterday, to the Ministry of Interior, an application to register this new party, whose name would be "The Future Party".

Ihsanoglu did not mention Erdogan's name during his hour-long speech, but he clearly criticized the broad powers granted to the presidency under constitutional amendments last year.

The politician, who resigned from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), said in September: "It will not be possible to have a democratic society with a system like this."

Analysts say Davutoglu seeks to win over conservative Muslim voters from support for the ruling party. Although few expect the Walid party to attract more than a small portion of the electorate, this may be enough to cause problems for Erdogan.

Davutoglu stressed that his party would defend minority rights, the rule of law, freedom of the press and an independent judiciary, in reference to the deterioration of civil rights during Erdogan's rule.

Davutoglu, a former university professor, was a clearer Turkish foreign policy engineer in the Middle East, and he has long been one of Erdogan's closest allies since he took office in 2003.

Davutoglu was foreign minister, at a sensitive time in Turkey's foreign relations, at the beginning of the current era.

But the Turkish president forced him to resign in 2016, amid differences between the two men over several files, especially amending the constitution in order to strengthen the powers of the head of state.

After a long silence, Davutoglu abandoned his conservative stance and began criticizing Erdogan.

Davutoglu faces criticism as an architect of Ankara's efforts to adopt a more intrusive and firm stance in the Middle East, such as supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies in a number of Arab countries, and supporting militants in Syria, a policy that left Turkey with a few allies in the troubled region.

And not the only former dissident prime minister, Ali Babacan has announced that he will launch his party in the coming weeks.

A source close to Babacan also said that he would announce his new rival party within weeks, adding: “The party’s formation efforts are in their final stages. The last changes are made to the texts, after the founders of the party are almost complete.

Babacan said, in his first TV interview since he resigned from the Justice and Development Party last month, that Turkey was in a "dark tunnel", warning of the dangers of "one-man rule."

In light of these developments, the Turkish political scene opens to more ambiguity, and to possible retaliatory responses from the Turkish president, who hastened to describe dissidents from his former allies as "traitors."

Erdogan has been getting rid of his political opponents, on charges that opposition politicians and human rights organizations say are malicious, and include support or affiliation with organizations that Ankara classifies as "terrorist", conspiracy against national security, or the exploitation of influence or involvement in financial crimes.

Finally, the Turkish President quickly accused his former allies, Babacan and Davutoglu, of defrauding "Creation Bank", for the benefit of the "Istanbul Shahir University", which is one of the founders of Davutoglu.

The bank filed a lawsuit against the university, in an attempt to recover the money that it failed to pay, and its assets were frozen.

Another personality has gone into hiding since President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's assumption of the presidency in August 2014, and it is believed that the latter worked to reduce his influence and intentionally marginalize him within the party and within the political administration, even though he is one of the founders.

The matter concerns the former Turkish President, Abdullah Gul (11th President of Turkey, from August 28, 2007 to August 2014).

Gul is expected to join one of the two parties, or to be unified for both parties: the Davutoglu party and the Ali Babacan party.
