Özet:

The Republic of Turkey, founded in the Ottoman geography, was founded on the basis of the monarchist regime and the concept of sovereignty, the Republic regime and the popular sovereignty. This is a major democratic transformation, and in it the Westernization movements and legitimacy processes, which began in the last Ottoman period, have played an important role. But the oppressive practices of the one-party period of Westernization and transformation of society have not crowned the Republican regime with democracy. After the Second World War, more external factors resulted in the transition to the multi-party system since in 1950 the change of power by democratic methods formed a turning point in terms of Turkish democracy. The period between 1960 and 1980, which began with military intervention, was the period of internal political conflicts, strengthening of military facilities, loss of previously gained democratic values and accumulations. The 12th September military coup in the Turkish politics has strengthened the territory while completely shrinking the political sphere.
