TURKISH SOCIALISM THESIS IN THE AXIS OF Y？N JOURNAL

In this study, Y？n Journal, which has an important place in shaping the Turkish political life after 1960, and the Turkish Socialism thesis which was mentioned for the first time in this journal are discussed. Y？n dealing with political, social and economic matters was published on a weekly basis from 1961 to 1967 with a total of 222 issues. The ideas expressed in Y？n can be considered as the follow-up of the thoughts developed in the 1930s in the Kadro (Cadre) Journal. As it is tried to be put forward in this study, although the issues such as the fact that a statist economic policy can be considered as the most important factor in the development of Turkish Revolution principles, the opinions expressed in Y？n movement indicate some differences in accordance with the new political structure of the period. The concept of the social state laid down in the 1961 Constitution and the greater expansion of freedom than ever before by the new constitution were the basis of differences between these two periods. Turkish socialism thesis, which was put forward in the 'relatively free atmosphere' of the 60s, presented a new model specific to Turkey. In this regard, Y？n Journal and Turkish socialism thesis were handled in the context of the conditions of the changing period after the military coup of May 27, 1960
