ABSTRACT

While terms such as 'Right' and 'Left' have different connotations in various states, there is much in the new militant Right in Turkey that reminds one of rightist movements in Western Europe between the two World Wars. There are, of course, characteristics peculiar to the Turkish scene. Nonetheless, the resemblance, since the mid-1960's, is so striking, and the rise of a militant Right in Turkey so significant per se, that a brief examination of this movement seems worthwhile.
