![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Demirel_1976_cropped.jpg)
The 41st government of Turkey (21 July 1977 – 5 January 1978) was a historical government of Turkey. It is also called the fifth Demirel cabinet and Second Nationalist Front.
Background[]
After the 40th government failed to receive the vote of confidence, three parties formed a coalition and named their government the "Second Nationalist Front." The prime minister was Süleyman Demirel, the leader of Justice Party (AP). Other partners were National Salvation Party (MSP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). The difference between the first and the second nationalistic fronts was that Republican Reliance Party (CGP) was no longer a partner of the coalition.
