1927 in Turkey

In 1927, Turkey experienced significant political and social developments under the leadership of President Kemal Atatürk and Prime Minister İsmet İnönü of the Republican People's Party (CHP). The year began with the 2nd Parliament in session until September, after which the 3rd Parliament took over. The government transitioned from the 4th to the 5th cabinet on November 1.

Notable events included the U.S. Senate's rejection of the Treaty of Lausanne in January and general elections held in February. In March, the Independence Tribunals concluded, while President Atatürk made his first visit to Istanbul after 1917, reinforcing Ankara as the capital. On August 27, a gang led by Hacı Sami was arrested for attempting chaos near Samos. The International Court ruled in Turkey's favor on the Bozkurt–Lotus case later that month.

In October, Atatürk delivered his six-day *Nutuk* speech summarizing the Turkish War of Independence and revealed his will, benefiting the CHP. A census recorded a population of 13,648,270, while maintenance began on the battleship Yavuz. November saw the start of the new parliament and government led by İnönü, as well as the construction of the Statue of Victory in Ankara.

The year also marked births of notable figures like future president Turgut Özal (October 13) and deaths of influential individuals such as poet Süleyman Nazif and painter Hüseyin Avni Lifij. The marine accident involving the ship *Sevinç* occurred on December 26.
