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.
Atatürk ve Başbakan İnönü arasındaki anlaşmazlıklar 1937 sonbaharında
onarılamaz seviyeye ulaşınca Bayar Başbakanlığa getirildi. Bu durum İnönü-Bayar
rekabetine yeni bir boyut eklemişti. Atatürk’ün vefatı sonrası İnönü Cumhurbaşkanı
seçildi. Bayar görevine devam ediyordu ancak kendi döneminde faaliyete geçen
Denizbank bir süre sonra yolsuzluk haberlerinin odağı haline geldi. Soruşturmaların
Bayar’ın Başbakanlığı dönemi ve kadrolarına yoğunlaşması onun siyasi gücünün
kırılmak istendiği izlenimini doğurmuştu. Olayların aynı anda gündeme gelmesi
bu tezi kuvvetlendiriyordu. Otoritesi sarsılan Bayar istifaya mecbur oldu. Fakat
Bayar’ın siyasi inzivaya çekilmesine yarayan yolsuzluk soruşturmaları beraatla
sonuçlandı. Çalışmada, Bayar hükümetini sarsan Denizbank soruşturmaları, İmpeks
ve Satie Olayları kapsamında incelenmiştir.
