abstract
| - Öztürk was born in Ankara the son of high ranking communist official Kazım Ataç. Öztürk joined the Turkish Republican Workers' Party in 1975, before being given a high ranking position in the People's Defence Force after attending military academy in the USSR. Öztürk was appointed Deputy Chairmen of the State Security Committee (commonly called the Güvenliki), the domestic intelligence agency of Turkey at the age of 30. Following the end of the Cold War and a reshuffle in the Turkish government Öztürk was promoted to Chairperson of the Güvenliki. As head of the Güvenliki Öztürk was able to cultivate a dominant position in the Turkish government, practically unopposed by all save the president. In 1996 under the orders of Yüksel Ataç he led a bloodless coup against the General Secretary Mehmet Özlem due to the latters mismanagement of the economy, with the Central Committee placing her into the position instead. In 2008 the Central Committee voted for him to be Chairperson of the State Presidium . As General Secretary Öztürks decade long term has been controversial. Many have derided him for giving greater power to the head of state and the Güvenliki. Internationally his autocratic regime and human rights records has been widely criticised, as well as her increased military action into Iraq. Öztürk has also been called out for weakening diplomatic relations between neighbouring states. Öztürk is the founder of the political ideology Öztürkism.
