CN: If you want to skip the graphic description of the events described in this episode the timestamps are 42:43 to 44:30.
It's the middle of the 50s and the Cold War is in full swing, Turkey is safely within NATO's grasp alongside its friendly neighbour Greece, with whom it has pretty good relations. Then the issue of decolonisation and specifically Cyprus comes up, with some on the Island favouring unification or "Enosis" with Greece. This new tension offers the third (for now) Superpower in the world Britain a chance to save itself from diplomatic embarrassment which sets off a series of events that lead to tragedy in the form of the Istanbul Pogrom. Find out the ins and outs of the event, what the level of government involvement was and whether there's an Operation Gladio related twist to it all.

It's a slightly hungover episode, as we set the scene the for the 50s in Turkey, recap some of how we got here and we look at the innovative ways that Turkey tried to get closer to NATO. What they do might surprise you! It probably wont, but it's important for us to see what the price of being close to the western bloc may have been for Turkey who were really afraid of the Soviet Union. Also we'll be giving some background on our new main characters in government Celal Bayar and Adnan Menderes, who will have a big hand in the new Democrat Party government that will hold power throughout the decade ahead.

A preview of our bonus episode on a defamation trial that escalated into an alleged attempted coup that then very transparently became a show trial. We've got fascists, poets, torture, the looming shadow of Stalin and at least one questionable haircut.
