I was always interested in politics. I supported all the political parties that were for the people. Whether it is opposition or not. I have voted since 1950.
I cast my first vote for the Democratic Party. Adnan Menderes [6]. We were enthusiastic about them as a novelty. And they accomplished a lot. But there were some mistakes and there were some bad consequences. They stayed in power till 1960.
The hanging of Menderes created a big reaction. I remember the day of the hanging. We always followed the trial on the radio. The decision, right or wrong [it is a political event]. When two parties went head to head, the military did a coup, but now when these consequences happened, even the people who did not support that party were saddened.
