Suphi Baykam

The spring of 1950 was also the spring of the multi-party regime in Turkey. A new 10 years, a new regime, a new government. The first test of democracy was beginning. The National Chief of the single-party period had returned to his Pink Mansion. The address of the opposition was clear now. When it comes to power... Power was shared by a tripartite trivet from the first day: DP Group in the Parliament. Celal Bayar in the Mansion and Adnan Menderes in the Prime Ministry..

It is a famous saying: "One can come to power with a bayonet, but not sit on it." The organization, which carried out 27 May, came to power with a bayonet. Moreover, these young officers seized power that night by breaking the traditional chain of command. In the morning, a 10-year DP period was over, the support of the public was gained at first hand, and a brand new phase was reached. Now, the days that would mark the future of Turkey were beginning. Now, as those days put it, the "second republic period" was beginning.

Türkiye'de 1946 ile 1961 arasındaki çok partili siyasi yaşama geçiş sürecini, Demokrat Parti dönemini ve 27 Mayıs Darbesini anlatan TRT-Milliyet Gazetesi ortak yapımı belgesel dizisi. Belgeselin adı "demokrat" kelimesine yabancı olan Türk halkının Demokrat Parti'ye yakıştırdığı "Demirkırat Partisi" tabirinden gelmektedir.
