Privilege Missives in the Seventh Term Turkish Grand National Assembly (1943-1946)

Grand National Assembly of Turkey has largely completed between 1920-1927 year process of institutionalization. Parliament adopts the principle of "Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the nation" in the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and achieved independence of the country by concluding the National Struggle with victory. Revolutionary laws were made in the leadership of Atatürk and the regime was reinforced. The basic rights and powers of deputies representing the nation were regulated in the Constitution. In 1927, the bylaws, which determine the functioning and working method of the parliament, were adopted. The bylaws also included arrangements for the lifting of the legislative immunities of the deputies.This study examines the seventh-term deputies and it focuses on accusations directed against deputies. Thus, it will be attempted to understand in which situations the members of the parliament abused their duties.The main source of the work is the parliamentary official report. Parliamentary official reports provide detailed information about submission of official missives to the parliament, review process in the commissions, and discussion at the general meeting. 39 missives were prepared for 32 deputies during the period under examination. It appears that most of the missives claims to have abused the duty of the deputy. Missives was prepared for accusations such as insult and assault. To be insulted through the press has been another matter of investigation. Extraordinary acts of contravention in the ongoing the Second World War conditions are among the charges. When all the missives prepared during the semester are examined, it seems that they are not deputies who are removed from the immunity. The commissions did not respond positively to the missives submitted to them, by referring to the constitution and bylaws. The legal process for all of the deputies was left at the end of the term
