On March 26, 1971, then Prime Minister Nihat Erim appointed him Deputy Prime Minister (responsible for economics) in his cabinet, which had been installed by the military after the military coup in Turkey in 1971 . On December 3, 1971, Karaosmanoğlu and 10 ministers resigned because the ministers saw themselves unable to implement the promised reforms.
