To have multiparty democratic elections at least two political parties must be represented in the parliament and also the democratic culture must be matured in this level. There were some attempts to transform Turkish Parliament into a multiparty system during last decades of Ottomans but none of those h ad any success. Moreover, two attempts after the foundation of Turkish Republic also could not result in the expected success. After the end of WWII in Turkish Political system the third attempt for a multiparty system was put in force but People's Republican Party (CHP), using all state means, achieved a great success and this was in fact the last big success of CHP in the multiparty political life. Because CHP had used stat e means and DP was a new party there was no need for a comprehensive election campaign. After the elections of 1950 to the year of 2011, during the 65 years multiparty political life to receive voters' vote political parties day by day paid more and more attention to propaganda affairs.
