56th government of Turkey
Appearance
The 56th government of Turkey (11 January 1999 – 28 May 1999) was a minority government led by Bülent Ecevit of Democratic Left Party (DSP).
Background
The election results of 1995 necessitated a series of coalition governments, all of which were unstable. Finally, Bülent Ecevit, the leader of DSP, was asked to form a minority government to serve as a caretaker government until new elections. Although DSP was the fourth party measured by seats, the others promised to support his government without formally participating in it.
