Abstract
Throughout the last decade, the refugee issue has profoundly impacted global politics. Accordingly, this study seeks to provide insight into a new political phenomenon in Turkey, namely, the Victory Party (Zafer Partisi, ZP) by analyzing the characteristics of the party’s political discourse. Using content analysis and the discourse-historical approach as an extension of critical discourse analysis, this study argues that the ZP’s political discourse, which is based on the combination of nationalism and populism, is massively shaped by anti-refugee sentiment.
