In the process to 27 may the Democrative Party and its proceedings

Turkey has survived various troubles before and after the republic declared in 1923. First of all, the country was liberated from the occupation, and then it struggled with domestic and foreign economic and social problems. In Turkey, which was ruled by a Single Party until 1946, multi-party politics could only start in 1946, with the effect of the wind of democracy that emerged in the world after the Second World War. The Democratic Party, which was founded at the beginning of 1946, has won three consecutive elections since 1950. The weaknesses of the management in the economy, which have made itself felt since 1957, both strengthened the opposition and increased the reaction against the government in the society. The DP government, which could not reduce the reaction in the society, resorted to drastic measures. The increasing reactions against these measures got out of control and finally the 27 May Military Coup took place. Right after the 27th of May, the officers who did not plan the aftermath of the coup established the National Unity Committee with the suggestion of the Constitutional Professors. With the Temporary Constitution prepared by the professors, former ruling members and deputies were tried by the court prepared in Yassıada. In this study, the 27 May Coup, which has not lost its influence in society and politics despite the fact that 60 years have passed, and the results of the Democratic Party executives before their trial, are examined by using the opinions of the witnesses of the time, the Parliamentary Minutes of the period, the Yassıada Court Minutes and the books and researches in this field.
