Line 44:
Now much more moderate in their views, the UDP is slowly gaining grounds with the public with promises of a liberalized economy and political system - but never daring to undermine the regime directly, with fears of anarchy dominated by extreme wings of the political spectrum, or worse, the threat of minority revolts like those Bayar repressed in 1937 hanging in the air.
Minority unrest has become a common feature of political life, and the state turned to more oppressive methods to crush it every time. This heavy-handed militarism soon spread to other branches of government, supported by the military and the resurgent right. By 1962 the title "president" is rarely heard, most commonly substituted for the more formidable title of "Millî Şef."
