TURKISH POLITICS (TÜRK SİYASAL HAYATI) - (İNGİLİZCE) Dersi From Constitutional Monarchy of the Ottoman Empire to the Multi-party Period of the Republic of Turkey soru detayı:
SORU:
What kind of measure did the government have to take following the establishment of the Progressive Republican Party?
CEVAP:
The establishment of the Progressive Republican Party triggered the government to
take some measures to maintain its power. First, Prime Minister İsmet (İnönü) Pasha, known for his rigid opinions, was replaced with Fethi Bey (Okyar), a liberal person. Through this change, the government aimed to prevent people from transferring to the newly formed alternative party. On the other hand, there were also some people
within CHP who argued that any opposition should not be tolerated and an authoritarian management should be implemented. The political agenda and developments that took place in 1925 caused those ideas to be taken into account by the government.
