Summary/Abstract: The events of 6-7 September 1955 which emerged against non-Muslims in the wake of provocations of some designed groups still keep its mystery in Turkish political life. Although many years have elapsed since then, the secrets of the events have not reached the point of view of judicial, political or international relations, and could not be revealed in the light of evidences. The organizations, which wanted to carry out the events of 6-7 September 1955, examined the social, political and sociopsychological structure of Turkish society in the context of “determinism of social events” and was able to calculate how far the political and international dimension of events could go. Our social construction is very sensitive on the three values; ‘Homeland, Flag and Qoran’. Considering that social determinism predominates in the essence of social construction, it is unavoidable that willpower play a crucial role in the core of social demands that ‘people depend on the social conditions in which they live’. In this study; besides the political schemes to be put on the scene against non-Muslims on the events of 6-7 September 1955, The defeat of the DP government and the Republic of Turkey in the international community, Britain’s diplomatic message for the Cyprus issue to give to the Turks and Political and othering incitements to be staged against non-Muslims (mainly against the Greeks) in various regions of Turkey will be emphasized. Afterwards, the secret and back door activities of the organizations moved against the government by the groups who used to derange, so the political and international wishes of the organizers of the accordingly emerged social events will be handled in turn. The sociological reasons for the fact that the real perpetrators and organizers of the experienced social events (especially military coups) that have not been detected yet in judicial and legal contexts will be emphasized. There will also be addressed at political and international ambitions of the organizers of the experienced social events.
