National Will Platform Issues Key Message on 10th Anniversary of July 15

The National Will Platform issued a key message on the 10th anniversary of the July 15, 2016 coup attempt in Turkey, which was carried out by the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ). The platform emphasized that the nation has not forgotten the events and will not allow them to be forgotten. The coup attempt resulted in over 250 deaths and thousands of injuries, and it was thwarted by civilian resistance and security forces. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the ongoing political and social impact of the event, including the government's subsequent crackdown on FETÖ affiliates. The message reinforces the official narrative and commemorates the victims and the resilience of the Turkish state.

Global Impact

The 10th anniversary of the July 15 coup attempt reinforces Turkey's domestic political narrative and its ongoing state of emergency-style measures against opposition groups. Internationally, it may strain relations with countries that have criticized Turkey's human rights record, particularly in the EU and US.
