Abstract :The traditional periodization of Turkish political history after 1945 identifies military interventions of 1960, 1971 and 1980 as its main turning points. This is also true for the history of socialism in Turkey in the multi-party era. Socialism in Turkey became a publicly visible political force after the military coup of 1960. The military intervention of 1971 represented a rupture within this history. After a period of interregnum, socialism revived again; but this revival was crushed very harshly, this time, by the military coup of 1980. In this article, the focus will be on the history of socialism in Turkey between 27 May 1960 and 12 March 1971. While elaborating on main socialist groups in Turkey in the 1960s, their alternative methods of attaining political power will also be discussed.Keywords : Türkiye, 27 Mayıs 1960, Sosyalizm, İktidar Stratejileri
