Abstract:

This study’s prepared to put forth the pains that Turkey has been through in the progress of transitioning to a multiparty system after 1945 and the effects of the opposition movements against CHP that became evident inside parliament. In this study which Historical-descriptive analysis method was used, first of all Turkey’s progress of transition to a multiparty system and opposing voices inside the party has been examined. Then it’s planned to put forth the place of 35’s within this progress and its value in Turkish democracy history. Finally, CHP’s political evolution after 35’s has been analysed. Throughout literature review, it’s revelaed that previous studies only considered 35’s as an opposition group over the course of history. However, it’s noteworthy that there are no analyzes regarding the democratic transformation it created in the CHP. The democratic transformation that the 35s revealed within the CHP is among the results achieved with the work carried out by means of a strict intra-party opposition. It’s thought that the study will contribute to the literature, especially with the CHP's evaluation in terms of democratization tendencies during the 35s and beyond.
