[edit] Comment
Adnan Menderes is the one who interrupted revalutionary changes in Islam religion and Muslim societies.After World War I, under presidencey of Ataturk, azan(call to prayer) changed from Arabic to Turkish, the aim was,to change language of all religion fields(books,azan,praying etc.) from Arabic to own language(turkish) so people would understand their religion much better and there wouldn't be any opportunity for religios fundamentalist. But Adnan Menderes's first thing to do after elected as the presedent of state was to change azan back to Arabic.So here he is to blame as the source of modern fundamentalist religiousts in the world.
- Menderes did a wrong thing but do you really think that his wrong decision effected the all believers of Islam in the world. If your thesis is correct, then Al- Queda and such idiots are on the world's political scene because of Menderes... Come on, he did bad things to Turkey, not to the world. Actually, "bad thing" is a subjective term and we can't use such biased views in the article. Deliogul 12:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[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.

[edit] Inquiry Comission
I hereby suggest the addition of information about the Inquiry Comission (turkish: Tahkikat Komisyonu) which, called together by Menderes, functioned as a de facto Judicative and Executive entity, thus being in contradiction with the separation of powers principle in a democratic political system. The system under Menderes, holding the National Assembly and thus also the legislative power under his control, had becoma immensely antidemocratic towards the end of his rule. Hopefully, someone has enough time and knowledge to expand the article in this suggested way. Klael 13:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
