Democrat Party (DP) government was toppled in the first military intervention in Turkey’s republican history on May 27, 1960. After the coup, the soldiers who carried out this military action formed the National Unity Committee (NUC), which had 38 members of different ranks. The NUC declared its loyalty to NATO and CENTO in the coup declaration and the committee and its leader, General Cemal Gürsel, became the main actors in Turkish politics until the 1961 elections. The NUC period witnessed several challenges and changes in Turkish political, economic, and social life as well as foreign policy. In particular, the Kemalists, leftists, and anti-DP circles, who called the military intervention a revolution and mythicized the NUC’s role in Turkey’s independence from the USA, expected a major turnabout in the DP’s US-centric foreign policy. However, as this presentation shows on the basis of primary sources such as the US archives, Turkish parliamentary records, and the records of provisional governments, NUC governments followed the same path as the DP government in Turkish-American relations and maintained a US-centric foreign policy. Therefore, economic and military negotiations started between the two countries immediately after the coup because the Turkish economy was in a serious crisis and there was a need for new resources for military expenditures. Specifically, the declining living standards of officers before the coup forced the government to seek financial support from the USA. Moreover, Turkey’s military infrastructure had to be modernized and new missiles had to be deployed in the country to resist the Soviet threat. Thus, the main topics in Turkish-American relations during this period were the increase in US financial and military aid to Turkey, the retirement of officers from the army, NATO and US financial aid to Turkey, a possible Turkish-Soviet rapprochement, and the deployment of IRBMs. Despite the increase in US support, it fell short of the NUC government’s expectations. In summary, the NUC government continued the DP’s US-centric foreign policy and refused the Soviet peace offensive to grant economic and technical support to Turkey. Turkey’s dependence on the USA did not come to an end, contrary to the expectations of the groups supporting the military intervention for Turkey’s independence from the USA.
