Half century ago Turkey has begun to experience instability in its political situations due to the crises that took various aspects resulting from many factors to be summarized in military establishment sticking to Ataturks heritage, conflict between secularists and Islamists, and the relation with the west, in addition to the economic deterioration.

That caused the first presidential crisis in Turkey to rise in 1973, and to recur in 1980 embodying the conflict between political powers and military establishment.

The latter was consequently led to intervene again in 1980 on the pretext of maintaining the regime and avoiding its collapse.

The last intervention by the army led to put a third constitution aiming at expanding the authorities of the president, a matter that made the form of the regime closer to the presidential nature.

The crisis had also its repercussions on the establishments of the political regime.
