Özet:

On March 12, 1971, the Turkish Armed Forces took control again to shape their political life. Demirel forced the government to resign. The parties to carry out the reforms that the Constitution pledged demanded the establishment of a superior government. The task of forming the new government was given to CHP Kocaeli Parliamentary Deputy Nihat Erim. This development has begun a big debate that will result in a leadership change within the CHP. CHP President Ismet Inönü has decided to support the government that will be formed by Erim. Bülent Ecevit, CHP Secretary-General, who believes that more than the Demirel government is targeting the political line defined as the center of the CHP, has resigned from office by criticizing the decision of Inönü. Nammet Inönü and his team have dominated the parliamentary groups while Bülent Ecevit and his friends have won the support of the CHP parliament and the Central Board of Directors. In the 5th Extraordinary Assembly of the CHP, which was gathered under severe accusations against each other by the parties, Inönü resigned from the office of the CHP General Presidency after he met with a result opposed to his expectation. In this situation, at the end of the private Kurultay, which was gathered to elect the President of the CHP on May 14, 1972, Bülent Ecevit was the next president of the party after Atatürk and Inönü.
