The ruling Republican People’s Party’s (CHP) regulations inside the army during and after the Second World War, its dominant behavior in the 1946 elections, and its restructuring of the military based on US standards have disturbed the military wing and led to the foundation of various organizations, which foresaw a revolution, within the army. One of these organizations was “The Raid Army” (Hücum Ordusu), which was founded by Seyfi Kurtbek. Other organizations got in touch with such commanders as Muzaffer Tugsavul, Ahmet Ekrem Turker, Nazmi Dora and Fahri Belen. The party, which these organizations that emerged in the Turkish Armed Forces lent their support, was the Democrat Party (DP) which was founded in 1946. The DP, which took over the government in 1950, had felt uneasy about Ismet Imonu’s influence over the high-ranking commanders and this uneasiness led the DP to worry about a coup attempt. A colonel’s report to Menderes immediately after the elections regarding that the high ranking commanders were having talks with Ismet Inonu aggravated this worry. Upon these developments, the DP decided to purge high ranking officers with the idea of creating an army loyal to the government.
