However, since the existing equilibrium prevent being neutral, a process of convergence with the western bloc, which defends democracy, has begun. One of the major elements of modern democracy has been the multi-party political order. Tries the transition to multi-party system in Turkey can be divided into two periods. In this distinction, the developments before and after the Second World War were taken into consideration. The absolute establishment of the alternative party order took place after the war. New political parties arose in this second period. The Democrat Party, founded on January 7, 1946, was the most influential opposition party in the multi-party period. The party passed from the opposition to power in the general elections, which attended four years after its establishment. Thus, the Democrat Party Period began between 1950 and 1960.
