Only one of them, the Extraordinary Congress of 1946, was carried out after the Second World War when in Turkey the multi-party system had settled. The Republican People’s Party took notice of all these congresses pretty much. The decisions that were made in these congresses had effects not only on the future of the party, but also on the politics of the country. The Ordinary Congress of Republican People’s Party of 1947, as well, had highly significant results that concerned both the party and the politics of the country. Furthermore, this congress had greater effects on the Republican People’s Party. While the grassroots were tried to have voice and potentiate more through the innovations on the statutes of the party, the Six Principles of Kemalism were re-identified in the congress, as well. The revisions that were made on the Principles, were considered as an ideological deviation by some and were perceived as making concessions about Kemalism in the congress CR - Başbakanlık Cumhuriyet Arşivi (BCA, Ankara) Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi Fon Kataloğu (Fon.
