Constituent Assembly of Turkey

The Constituent Assembly of Turkey (also called the chamber of deputies) existed from 6 January 1961 to 24 October 1961. It was established by the military rule of 1960 Turkish coup d'état.[1] About half of the members were appointed by the military rule and the rest were the elected members. Among the elected members there were Republican People’s Party (CHP) and Republican Nation Party members as well as various NGO members. But the former Democrat Party (DP) members were not allowed in the parliament.
