Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the 1950s-1970s, Turkey's military saw themselves as a stabilizing force in politics, intervening when they perceived a threat to the country's democratic institutions. While the military did overthrow governments during this time period, it did so in order to restore political stability rather than to gain power for themselves. This distinguishes them from the Iranian military's actions during the shah's dictatorship, which were largely motivated by a desire to maintain the monarchy's grip on power.
