Alpaslan Türkeş
Alpaslan Türkeş's ancestors are from Yukari Köşkerli village of Kayseri Pınarbaşı district. In 1860, his family immigrated to Cyprus. Alpaslan Türkeş was born on November 25, 1917 in Nicosia. During the years Türkeş was born and raised, Cyprus was under the occupation of England. In 1933, Alpaslan Türkeş's family came back to Turkey. Alpaslan Türkeş graduated from Kuleli Military High School in 1936, where he was enrolled with the help of Izmit Mebusu Sirri Bey and Marshal Fevzi Çakmak, and from the Harp School on August 30, 1938. Atatürk approves the decree on the promotion of Alpaslan Türkeş to the rank of adjutant. Now he is a young lieutenant of the Turkish army. After completing infantry training, he served first in Kars and then in Isparta. The next duty station is Gallipoli 58th Infantry Regiment. In the years of the Second World War, Balıkesir, Bandırma, Erdek and Marmara Islands were their duty stations.
The year 1944 was one of the turning points in the stormy life of Alpaslan Türkesh. On May 3, 1944, he was arrested, tried and acquitted in connection with the case, which was recorded in the archives under the name of Turkism and Turancılık. Alpaslan Türkeş is the "mighty colonel" of the May 27, 1960 revolution. He wants to use the opportunities of the May 27 revolution, which he had to be part of, to solve the basic problems of Turkey and to use this opportunity for the benefit of the nation. Türkeş, who wanted the May 27 Revolution to remain above the parties and become a national reform movement, joined the MBK group and served as Undersecretary of the Prime Minister until September 25, 1960. On November 19, 1960, he was forced to reside in India as a Government Counselor. In fact, Alpaslan Türkeş was exiled to New Delhi before he had the opportunity to implement his ideals.
He returned to Turkey on February 21, 1963 and was arrested on May 21, 1963. He was discharged on September 5, 1963, became a member of the CKMP on March 31, 1963, and was elected the general chairman at the congress held on August 1, 1965. In February 1969, the name of CKMP was changed to MHP at the suggestion of Alpaslan Türkeş. From 1965 to September 12, 1980, he was elected deputy from Ankara and Adana for four terms. I and II established after 1975. Alpaslan Türkeş served as Deputy Prime Minister in the governments of the Nationalist Front. He was arrested after the military coup on September 12, 1980. On September 12, 1980, by the prosecutor of the junta, Alpaslan Türkeş, "Contrary to the constitutional order, the principles of republicanism and democracy, trying to forcefully change the state for the purpose of being ruled by a single man; He was charged and tried with the allegations of arming the population of Turkey against each other, leading to a mass uprising, causing a mass uprising, and participating in these crimes. Alpaslan Türkeş was imprisoned for 4 years, 5 months, 28 days and was released on April 9, 1985.
The indictment of Alpaslan Türkeş, who was arrested in Mamak, was organized in the form of judging Turkish nationalism with a Marxist/leftist perception. There were innocent children of the country who were executed in the revenge of "one right and one left". The September 12 trial has tortured generations, or rather ideals. Alpaslan Türkeş's words about the junta prosecutor who dared to judge Turkish nationalism mean that we can see the point we have reached today from that day. He says: The prediction that "accusing the idea of nationalism by the people who are in an office in the name of the state and the nation, will cause destructive consequences in the future of this country, whose national unity is wanted to be sabotaged" belongs to those years. Today, it is possible to witness the destruction of the September 12 regime and the painful consequences of insensitivity to national issues in almost every incident.
