18th government of Turkey
Government of the Republic of Turkey (1949-1950)
The 18th government of Turkey (16 January 1949 – 22 May 1950) is also referred to as the Günaltay government .
Background
Hasan Saka of the Republican People's Party (CHP), who was the previous prime minister, resigned on 14 September 1949. President İsmet İnönü , upon the suggestion of Hilmi Uran , the secretary general of his party, assigned Şemsettin Günaltay as the new prime minister. Günaltay was a scholar of religion, philosophy and history. A scholar of religion as the prime minister of a party which was known to be the champion of secularism was quite unexpected.
