The Presidential Council (
Turkish: Cumhurbaşkanlığı Konseyi) was an advisory body in
Turkey lasting from 1983 to 1989. It comprised the
military commanders who joined General
Kenan Evren in the
1980 coup d'état. It succeeded the
National Security Council (1980–1983), of which Evren had been President, which was formally abolished after the
1983 general election, and reconstituted as the Presidential Council.
[1] Evren remained
President of Turkey until 1989.
