Abstract:

Democracy is a form of government, but it is also a form of culture. The existence, development and eventually permanent development of this culture is only possible through a sustainable process. The democratic processes, unfortunately, have led to military coupes. These events in the countries that have begun to enjoy and experience the new democratic experience have made a major obstacle to the formation and maturity of the democratic culture. The social, economic and political influences he has created have also profoundly affected the post-crowd period. Military coupes that hit the election and election process are just a turning point in the history of the Republic of Turkey, where great efforts are made to create a democratic culture. Among these attempts, especially the 27th of May 1960 and 12th of September 1980 military strikes took an important place in Turkish political life. The coupes have also affected the voters who chose the powers as much as they affected the governments. Confidence in the voters is overwhelmed. This affected the general elections in 1961 and 1983. The voters, when determining the power party or the party to govern themselves, have determined certain criteria and voted according to it. They needed managers to restore the trust that was lost after the strikes. Waiting for guarantee from the political actors to govern the country is one of the most natural rights of choice. Economy, education, unemployment, etc. are the main footsteps of the country. They are waiting for confidence to be rebuilt. The general elections of 1961 and 1983 took place on such a political ground.
