As from the mid-1950s, various junta organizations began to form within the Turkish Army to overthrow the ruling Democratic Party. A significant part of these merged together and overthrew the power on May 27, 1960, and formed the National Unity Committee (NUC) and took over the country's administration. However, the fact that the NUC members did not have a common and open program for the post-Intervention of May 27 created some disagreements among them. In addition to this, the presence of people who were content with the Intervention, some of which were close to some individuals or groups within the NUC, but who were not content with the post-developments, and those who cannot find a place in the NUC, had created a new challenge. After the elections of October 15, 1961, which signaled that NUC era ended and created a picture of the direction of the route in the country, some clusters took action to make their voices heard by various means. Milli Yol started publishing in early 1962 as one of these clusters. It was sided with Alparslan Turkes, who was one of the members of the NUC and was later discharged. With the thought that the Intervention was diverted from its main purpose, it criticized some people and attitudes; it tried to give direction to the process in line with the Turkism identity it owned. It confronted communism, the communist countries, the communists in Turkey and the segments it saw in relation to them, which he thought were trying to divert the process and which it saw as a danger to the existence of Turkishness. This also led it to base the anticommunist view on all his political, historical and economic evaluations and to choose the side of the United States in the bipolarity of the Cold War period. © 2021, Hacettepe University.
