Özet:

Multi-party life in Turkey formally began as the Democrat Party (DP) won the elections held on May 14, 1950 and came to power alone. The overthrow of the DP on May 27, 1960 as a result of a military coup by the Turkish Armed Forces led to the interruption of the democratic system that was attempted to establish in Turkey and also affected civil-military relations by paving the way for subsequent interventions. In this study, Turkish Armed Forces’ efforts to play an active role in Turkish politics during the process after May 27, 1960 will be mentioned and besides, in the case of the issue of the restoration of political rights to DP members in May 1969, their activities to influence the parliament and government, which was the head of the executive organ will be examined.
