35th government of Turkey

The 35th government of Turkey (22 May 1972 – 15 April 1973) was a government in the history of Turkey. It is also called the Melen government.

Background

[edit]

After Nihat Erim, the prime minister of the previous government, resigned, President Cevdet Sunay appointed Ferit Melen, the minister of National Defence in the previous government, as the prime minister. Ferit Melen was a member of National Reliance Party (MGP), a small party in the parliament, but his government had the support of the two major parties, Republican People's Party (CHP) and Justice Party (AP). The Melen government lineup was similar to the previous government's.
