Abstract
The coup d‟état of 27 May 1960 in Turkey has shaped the Turkish politics and the Turkey‟s political history. This event was marked as the first military intervention in the history of the Turkish Republic, preceeding the ultimatum of 12 March 1970 and the coup of 12 September 1980. The ruling Democrat Party was ousted by the Turkish Army when the country was experiencing chaos and dissent. The intent of this essay is to compare and contrast the approaches of Turkish, American and British press‟ to the coup in Turkey. Works of two adversary journalists from Turkish press; Bedii Faik Akın and Nadir Nadi was chosen (no press that backed the fallen government could be found as the coup was made by the Turkish army.) Newspapers such as New York Times, Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post and Times Herald was used for the American press and the newspaper The Times was used for the British press. Each press focused primarily on General Gürsel‟s promise of free vote and democracy. A stress on Turkey‟s geopolitical importance with respect to the Cold War‟s conjunction was also made by each of the press‟. American and Turkish press also mentioned about the coup‟s being made in order to ensure the continuity of Turkey‟s Kemalist policies. It is observed that the newspapers of the United States indicate the financial aids made to Turkey, for Turkey‟s agricultural and industrial improvement; and that these monetary aids were used arbitrarily by the Prime Minister Menderes. Newspapers such as New York Times claims that the Premier used these funds arbitrarily, without making any plans regarding the development of Turkey; neither cultural, social or financial.
