Talk:1983 Turkish general election

Comments

This article contains very serious factual mistakes of the sort which give Wikipedia a poor name. In 1983, the size of the Turkish Parliament (as the figures given actually show when added up) was 400 members, not 555 as stated. The Motherland Party got 211 seats and thus a working majority. The outgoing prime minister was not Suleyman Demirel whose previous term had ended with the coup on 12 September 1980 but Bulent Ulusu. It is amazing that such a wildly incorrect article on recent history has escaped attention. Compare it with the Turkish-language article in Vikipedia which seems to be correct or with the piece I wrote for the Financial Times on 3 November 1983.
