The Demirel VI cabinet was the 43rd government of Turkey , which was headed by Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel from December 12, 1979 to September 11, 1980 .
The parliamentary election of June 5, 1977 won the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP) of Bülent Ecevit with 41.38% of the vote, but clearly missed the absolute majority. Süleyman Demirel's Adalet Partisi (AP) was second behind with 36.88%. Ecevit was able to form a government in 1978 with the help of a few independent MPs. But in mid-term elections, the CHP suffered a significant defeat in October 1979 and Ecevit resigned. Demirel then tried to form a government and was able to obtain a toleration from the Millî Selamet Partisi of Necmettin Erbakan . On November 25, 1979, Demirel won the vote of confidence.
In the meantime the country had slipped into crisis. There was a trade deficit of around $ 5 billion. Turkey had high foreign debts of US $ 20.9 billion, the inflation rate rose to over 90%, and the unemployment rate was around 15 percent. In politics, the stalemate between Ecevit and Demirel brought a standstill. Conditions similar to civil war had developed between left and right groups and organizations, which killed several thousand people.
Demirel ignored a memorandum from the General Staff of December 27, 1979 to the President in the hope of winning new elections. However, his parliamentary group alone could not bring about the necessary dissolution of parliament and thus had to remain practically unable to act. After the end of President Fahri Korutürk's term of office , it was not possible to agree on a candidate who could achieve the necessary two-thirds majority. More than 115 ballots had been held by September 1980. Demirel's supporter Erbakan meanwhile railed against the West and openly called for an Islamic Republic of Turkey. Ecevit's attacks on the Demirel government intensified. Political murders were now the order of the day. On September 12, 1980, the military seized power and on September 20, 1980, a new government set up under the former naval commander Bülend Ulusu .
