The 43rd government of Turkey came to an end because of the 1980 Turkish coup d'état. Parliament was dismissed and a technocratic government was formed. The prime minister was Bülent Ulusu, a retired admiral and the ex-commander of the Turkish navy, but the majority of the ministers were civilian technocrats.

In the list below, the serving period of cabinet members who served only a part of the cabinet's lifespan are shown in the column "Notes".

The government ended with the elections held on 6 November 1983.
