It is put forward that the army was "separated from politics" by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during the process of establishing the national state and revolution, when politics was at its most intense.
.
However, it is not explained on which power Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the new political elite around him who founded the Turkish national state relied.
.
The basic thesis of this study is that the army was constantly in politics and was a political power during the founding period of our Republic.
This power was also the main basis of the armed organization of the Kemalist revolution, the foundations of which were largely formed by Ziya Gökalp's views, which shaped the establishment of the national state.
.
In the study titled Army-Politics Relations during the Period of Atatürk and İnönü, this determination is substantiated and the evolution of the army as an institution during the period until 1950 is discussed.
