Call for Liberty. Early in 1945, with Ataturk seven years dead and soldierly Ismet Inonu ruling Turkey in his place, Menderes abruptly ended his long obscurity. Boldly moving front and center, Menderes joined Banker-Statesman Celal Bayar and two other Deputies in presenting a resolution demanding that the government at long last put into effect the democratic liberties promised by the Turkish constitution. Soon the four rebels launched their own Democratic Party-the first genuine opposition party to be allowed by the ruling Republicans since Kemal Ataturk put Turkey on the road to democracy...
...economic restrictions, free enterprise instead of the state-directed economy favored by Ataturk and his heirs. In 1950, in the scrupulously honest election insisted upon by aging President Ismet Inonu, the Democrats rode into power on a surprising landslide, winning 408 Assembly seats to the Republicans' 69. Celal Bayar, the elder statesman of the Democratic Party, replaced Inonu as President. Adnan Menderes became Premier of Turkey...
...broad agreement with the government, without a prospect of resolving the conflict." In New York, where he was busy lobbying for next month's U.N.

Retreat. When Ismet Inonu speaks, even autocratic Adnan Menderes listens. And this time Inonu had the backing of President Celal Bayar, who for all his loyalty to the Democratic Party of Menderes, went out of his way to tell students at Turkey's Air Force Academy last week: "We must never give reaction a chance to return to Turkey." Within 24 hours after President Bayar spoke, Turkey's legislators by an almost unanimous vote refused to pardon Hodja Boyar. For all Turks who believe in separation of church and state, it was a sweet victory, except...
Whether Dr. Koprulu will attempt to head up an opposition group to Menderes within the Democratic Party is still to be seen. Menderes has the votes. But Koprulu is no small figure. He is one of the four founders (along with Menderes and President Celal Bayar) of the Democratic Party. His successor as Foreign Minister: Ethem Menderes, a relative of the Prime Minister, raised in Menderes' home...
