Summary/Abstract: When the conflicts between Ataturk and the Prime Minister Inonu grew to an irreparable point during the autumn of 1937, Bayar was appointed as the Prime Minister. This situation added a new dimension to Inonu-Bayar rivalry. Inonu was elected as the President of the republic after Ataturk’s death. Bayar was carrying on his duty but Denizbank which was started up during his time became the centre of news of corruption after a while. Investigations that were mainly directed towards Bayar’s prime ministerial time and personnel gave the impression that Bayar’s political power was wanted to be reduced. Simultaneous events that were brought to agenda were supporting this thesis. Bayar, whose authority was shaken, had to resign. Still, corruption investigations that forced Bayar to estrange himself from political life ended in acquittals. In this study, Denizbank investigations which have shaken the Bayar’s government have been examined within the scope of Impeks and Satie events.
