- Abstract
During the pre-election period, towards 1950, Nihat Erim was a politician who was seen as the successor to Ismet Inonu within the Republican People's Party (RPP). His image as " Inonu's successor" was weakened by his failures in both the Parliamentary Election of 1950 and the Secreatary-General Election of the RPP. However Erim, along with the Party President Inonu and the RPP Secretary-General Kasım Gulek, continued to determine the policies of RPP's official publication Ulus newspaper and maintained his position in the party during the period of 1950-1954. Immediately after the 1954 General Election, due to the oppressive legislative acts imposed by the Democrat Party on the Press and the Opposition, a dissension occurred in the RPP. Erim's position as a prominent member of the RPP was further shaken by the dissension between Inonu and Erim on the policy to be directed towards the ruling party. Under such circumstances, Nihat Erim became an advisor on the Cyprus Question; and during his bilateral talks with Prime Minister Menderes, Erim decisively emphasized the importance of a democratic policy line. Furthermore, Nihat Erim wrote a letter regarding the issues of "Constitution and regime" to Prime Minister Adnan Menderes in 1957, drawing attention to the experiences in Western countries.
