HIST123 - Assignment - 28-29 April Events (Turkey)
The April 28-29 events were organised by university students to support university
lecturers and protest against the repressive policies of the Democrat Party (DP) on April
28, 1960 in Istanbul and on April 29, 1960 in Ankara. Two students lost their lives after the
police opened fire on them, and around 100 people were injured, among them Istanbul
University rector Sıddık Sami Onar while many academics were beaten by the police. About
a month after the demonstrations, the National Unity Committee overthrew the Democrat
Party government in the 1960 Turkish coup d'état.
== Background ==
The policies followed by the Democratic Party after 1959 were starting to cause economic
and political problems. These created new tensions between political leaders and the
military hierarchy, of concern to both university students and intellectual circles.
Immediately before these disturbances, on April 27, 1960, the Democrat Party under Adnan
Menderes held a vote in parliament to establish a Committee of Inquest to investigate
government claims that the opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) was inciting
rebellion. In parliament both CHP and some DP deputies voted against the establishment of
the Committee, but the majority voted for it on 28 April 1960. With the enactment of this
law, the political atmosphere became even more tense. The National Unity Committee
composed of low-ranking officers in the Turkish Armed Forces who were against the
government became more determined to stage a coup, while university students protested
against the "repressive" laws enacted by the government.
== Events ==
On April 28, 1960, university students gathered in the central building of Istanbul
University shouting “Down with the dictators!” and “We want freedom!” The security forces
surrounding the protesting students opened fire to disperse them and tr:Turan Emeksiz, a
student of the Faculty of Forestry, was shot dead.
