[edit] Gladio involvement
On May 27, 1960 a military coup under General Cemal Gürsel, supported by Gladio "stay-behind" NATO secret structure, toppled the government, and Menderes was arrested along with some other party members, charged with violating the constitution.
What evidence is there to support the involvement of Gladio? Nloth 05:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- There is no evidence because it is not true. Actually, the coup wasn't designed by Cemal Gürsel Pasha. Army had big problems about Democrat Party so high-ranked officers started to plan a coup. Then Cemal Gürsel take the lead because he didn't trust to other generals(he did this after he realized that there were no way to stop the coup). Finally Adnan Menderes was hanged and the DP period came to an end. This is still a debated issue in Turkey. Many people still think that the only good prime minister that the country had was Adnan Menderes. On the other hand, many people still remembers Cemal Gürsel as a good leader and a patriot.
