The Freedom and Accord Party (Ottoman Turkish: حریت و ایتلاف فرقه‌ سی, romanizedHürriyet ve İtilaf Fırkası)[1] was a liberal Ottoman political party active between 1911 and 1913, during the Second Constitutional Era.[2] It was the most significant opposition to Union and Progress in the Chamber of Deputies. The political programme of the party advocated for Ottomanism, government decentralisation, the rights of ethnic minorities, and close relations with Britain.[3] In the post-1918 Ottoman Empire, the party became known for its attempts to suppress and prosecute the CUP.
