Finally, MGK decided to allow the formation of new parties with severe restrictions.
Moreover, the Great Turkey phrase in the name of the party was Demirel's political slogan in his former election rallies.
Some of the prominent party members as well as Süleyman Demirel himself were temporarily taken into custody in a camp named Zincirbozan.
(Some of ex Republican People's Party (CHP) members such as Deniz Baykal were also taken into custody.)
Although DYP was not allowed to enter the 1983 elections, it eventually became the governing party in 1991 and Süleyman Demirel became the prime minister (and later the president) of Turkey.
