The 33rd government of Turkey (26 March 1971 – 11 December 1971) was a government in the history of Turkey. It is also called the first Erim government.

Background

After the memorandum of the army on 12 March 1971, prime minister Süleyman Demirel of the Justice Party (AP) resigned, and a new government was founded by Nihat Erim, who had recently resigned from the Republican People's Party (CHP). However, his appointment caused unrest in CHP and Bülent Ecevit resigned from his post as the general secretary of his party to protest the appointment. Nevertheless, İsmet İnönü, the leader of the party, supported Nihat Erim and Erim formed a semi-technocratic government with the support of CHP, AP, and the National Reliance Party (MGP).

The cabinet was endorsed by the President Cevdet Sunay on 26 March 1971 and was given a vote of confidence in the National Assembly by 321 in favor and 46 against on 7 April.

Aftermath

Some of the technocrats in the cabinet (like Atilla Karaosmanoğlu) resigned, and Nihat Erim decided to form a new government.

Trivia

Türkan Akyol, the Minister of Health, was the very first Turkish female cabinet minister in the history of Turkey.
