Extract

The internal political life of Turkey since the revolution of 1960 JL has been beset by military coups and conflicts between political parties and social groups far more frequent and intensive than might normally be expected in a post-revolutionary period. This unrest contrasts sharply with the political stability which prevailed before 1960, and comes after a series of constitutional changes intended to establish a better system for orderly change and control of government.

1 Occasionally tribal leaders were included in this group, but their power was limited. Possibly only six provinces of Turkey have felt their influence. In the Erzurum area, this writer investigated a tribal group—the heirs of Sheik Said, the instigator of a Kurdish revolt in 1925. It turned out that the party supported by the Sheik won the least votes in the district.
