It is very important for our party to use Turkish language properly and correctly as we accept it an indispensable element of our national identity. Studies regarding Turkish language will be given particular importance and studies will be carried out to use Turkish as the language of science, art, trade and tele-communication in international level.

Relations with Turkish states and communities will be based on principle of "Unity in language, idea and work". Linguistic and cultural studies about the countries and communities where Turkish is spoken will be given particular importance as primary factor of economic and cultural cooperation and conditions will be created to make Turkish understandable and usable with all dialects.
