The '''4th Justice and Development Party Ordinary Congress''' was a party convention of the governing Turkish [[Justice and Development Party (Turkey)|Justice and Development Party]] (AKPAK Party) that took place on 30 September 2012. The congress mainly centred on the [[Turkey–PKKKurdish–Turkish conflict (1978–present)|Kurdish–Turkish conflict]].

The AKP's founding party leader [[Recep Tayyip Erdoğan]] stood as the only candidate for the party leadership, with 1,489 registered delegates voting in the election. Erdoğan was re-elected as leader with 1,421 votes. The congress was held a year after the AKPAK Party's third consecutive landslide victory in the [[2011 Turkish general election, 2011|2011 general election]].

==Date and venue==

The congress was held in the [[Ankara Arena]], which is widely used for political party conferences in [[Turkey]]. The date of 30 September 2012 was set due to the AKP's usual timetable of holding its conventions in the [[Autumn]] every three years. The previous ordinary congress took place in 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.milliyet.com.tr/ak-parti-4-olagan-buyuk-kongresi-nin-programi-ilan-edildi/siyaset/siyasetdetay/07.09.2012/1592861/default.htm|title = Son Dakika}}</ref>

==Agenda==

The agenda was dominated by the AKP's anti-terrorism propaganda, with the [[Turkey–PKKKurdish–Turkish conflict (1978–present)|Kurdish–Turkish conflict]] having claimed the lives of several [[Turkish Armed Forces|Turkish soldiers]] in recent months. Erdoğan's speech contained numerous poems, which drew tears from attendants at the congress according to press reports. Erdoğan's speech also contained attacks against the main opposition [[Republican People's Party (Turkey)|Republican People's Party]], which he accused of 'playing a role in every coup'.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.akparti.org.tr/site/haberler/basbakan-erdoganin-ak-parti-4.-olagan-buyuk-kongresi-konusmasinin-tam-metni/31771#1|title = Akparti̇}}</ref>
