22nd government of Turkey
The 22nd government of Turkey (9 December 1955 – 25 November 1957) was a government in the history of Turkey. It is also called the fourth Menderes government.
Background
Adnan Menderes, the prime minister of the previous government resigned because of a political crisis about press freedom, called the "right to prove" (Turkish: İspat hakkı). However, his party, the Democrat Party (DP), had the majority in the parliament, and therefore he founded the next cabinet.
