Özet:

There are many political actors in Turkey's political life, although they were influential in the period, there are no academic studies about them. Necmettin Cevheri is one of the rare people who have been influential in politics for more than half a century, but there is no academic study about him. This is essentially one of the shortcomings of our academic community. Because it is their duty to research who provides or contributes to basic services such as universities, factories, airports, agriculture and transportation, especially in the GAP, and to introduce him as an example to future generations. The aim of this study is to introduce Necmettin Cevheri to future generations. Necmettin Cevheri's political life, which started with the Democrat Party in 1951, continued with the Justice Party, which also had the same ideas and cadres, and ended with the True Path Party (DYP) in 2002 of his own accord. In his 51-year political life, Cevheri served at all levels of the Party, starting from the provincial presidency during the hectic periods of Turkey, as well as serving as a minister, deputy prime minister and deputy prime minister in the government. The name of Necmettin Cevheri is known as the brother of the region, the heavyweight of the Party and the right arm of Demirel, especially in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Regions. The aim of this study is to explain the important political points in our political life, the effects of Necmettin Cevheri on today's actors and political events. For this purpose, written and oral statements written by Cevheri himself and interviews with important political figures of the period were conducted.
