Republican Party (Turkish: Cumhuriyetçi Parti, CP) was a former political party in Turkey ^[1]

Republican People’s party (CHP) which is usually credited as the founder of Turkish republic in 1923 was the oldest party in Turkey. But after the party adopted the policy of so-called left of center in 1960s, two groups of MPs broke away from the party. The first group in 1967 founded the Reliance Party. Republican Party was founded by the second group in 1972.

The party was founded on 4 September 1972.^[2] The chairman of the Party was Kemal Satır, an ex vice prime minister. But it was a short lived party. On 28 February 1973 it was merged to Nationalistic Reliance Party (aka Reliance Party), which was renamed Republican Reliance Party.
