@article{2017,title={Reflections of the Coup D’etat Of 14 July 1958 in Iraq to the Turkish Internal Politics},abstractNode={In the summer of 1958, the Democrat Party (DP) government made the word of “coup” a topical matter and made it a primary reason of its polemics with the political parties. The leaders of the opposition criticized the government with being apprehensive while the government was urging that the alarm bells were ringing louder. Continuing debates between the leaders of the government and main opposition reached the public opinion via the press and the Turkish people curiously followed the process. At the beginning, counter criticisms had a very strong tone but later this tone was reduced. However, any single compromise between two leaders on the main themes of the debates could not be reached. One of the main elements of democracy is, of course, political parties. Government of a country is determined by votes of people in elections. However, there occasionally occurred some undemocratic interventions in Turkey, like many other countries in the world. From time to time some claims concerning a possible intervention were also expressed. The debate in 1958 was an example of such claims. The mentioned matter was reflected in a different manner in Ulus, the official publication of Republican People’s Party, and in Zafer, the official publication of DP. In this study, the discussions on a possible coup in 1958 were evaluated according to news in the Turkish press, especially the newspapers of Ulus and Zafer.},author={Onur ÇELEBİ},year={2017},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
