Two national figures, Bayar and 70-year-old Marshal Fevsi Cakmak, Turkey's most respected soldier, attacked the Government bitterly during the campaign. Bayar and Cakmak demand increased liberties and social legislation, but support the Government policy of resistance to Russian territorial demands.
