Through a rational approach to governance, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) governments have sought to address the country’s requirements gradually, in their proper context and at the appropriate time. One of the most visible achievements of the AK Party era was the establishment of a broad transportation and logistics ecosystem – from highways and logistics corridors to ports and airports.

This was later expanded into sectors such as health care and education, as the government continued building Türkiye’s broader infrastructure ecosystem.

Another major achievement of the AK Party governments, despite ongoing political debate, has been the substantial investment directed toward Turkish cities. From infrastructure and water supply to modern housing and natural gas distribution, Türkiye’s urban centers were equipped with many of the essential services required by a growing society.

Focusing specifically on the energy ecosystem, Türkiye has long occupied a strategic position in transporting oil and natural gas from east to west through pipeline networks carrying resources from Iraq, Azerbaijan and Russia via routes such as Yumurtalık. At the same time, the essence of an energy ecosystem lies in ensuring the secure supply, distribution, and sustainability of the energy the country requires.
