Orhan Öztrak (1914–1995) was a Turkish jurist and politician who served as the minister of interior and the minister of customs and monopolies. He was a member of the Parliament and of the Senate.
Early life and education
He was born in Malkara, Tekirdağ, in 1914.[1] He hailed from a family of which members are politicians and bureaucrats. His father was Mustafa Faik Öztrak who was the minister of interior.[2] His brother, Adnan Öztrak, was the first director general of the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation between 1964 and 1971.[3] His younger brother İlhan Öztrak served as the minister of state.[1]
Orhan Öztrak obtained a law degree from Ankara University. He received his Ph.D. in law from the University of Neuchâtel.[1]
Career and activities
After working as a district governor Öztrak was elected to the Parliament in the 1957 general election for the Republican People's Party (CHP) from Tekirdağ.[1] Following the military coup on 27 May 1960 a Constituent Assembly was formed. Öztrak was the Tekirdağ representative for the CHP at the Assembly from 6 January 1961 to 15 October 1961. He worked as a member of the CHP Central Administrative Board and was the party's deputy general secretary. He was named as the minister of customs and monopolies to the cabinet led by İsmet İnönü on 25 June 1962.[4]
Öztrak was appointed minister of interior to the same cabinet on 26 December 1963, replacing İlyas Seçkin in the post.[5] Öztrak's tenure ended on 20 February 1965 when Hakkı Akdoğan was named as the minister of interior.[5] Öztrak was part of the group led by Turhan Feyzioğlu in the CHP who argued in 1965 that the concept of the left of center was a way to make a distinction between the CHP followers and the followers of the Workers' Party of Turkey.[6]
Öztrak resigned from the CHP on 30 April 1967 and was involved in the establishment of the Reliance Party.[6] Later he was made its general secretary. He was a representative of Turkey at the European Parliament from 17 April 1970 to 28 January 1971.[7]
