July 15 became a symbol of the commitment of the Turkish people of democracy and the national will.
About this, the chairman of the Great National Assembly (Parliament) of Turkey Numan Kurtulmush wrote on a social network on the occasion of the Day of Democracy and National Unity, celebrated on July 15.
Kurtulmush noted that on July 15, 2016 is a date “inscribed in history in gold letters.”
The heroic resistance of the people of the military coup was one of the most important examples of courage and self -sacrifice, he emphasized.
“Thanks to the stamina and selflessness of our citizens, we are confidently looking into the future,” said the head of the parliament.
He assured that in Turkey and from now on, efforts will be made to protect democracy and strengthen the rule of law.
Kurtulmush also emphasized that Türkiye will not allow you to forget about the coup. “July 15 is a lesson and duty. We will not allow us to forget this day and will not give the slightest chance to those who seek to destroy our unity – neither the flubbles nor the terrorists. Let the Almighty keep our brotherhood and consent,” he added.
9 years have passed since the military coup in Turkey, organized by the terrorist organization of Fethullah Gulen, “Parallel State” (Fetö) July 15, 2016.
Since its founding, impersoning the religious organization, Fetö tried to penetrate the structures of the state and in various ways to introduce its members into the Turkish armed forces. On the night of July 15, Fetö made an attempt by a coup.
For the seizure of power, the putschers involved about 9 thousand military, 35 aircraft, 37 helicopters, 246 armored vehicles, including 74 tanks, and almost 4 thousand rifle weapons.
The military coup attempt, undertaken in Turkey on July 15, 2016, was completely suppressed in about 21 hours throughout the country.
Thanks to the decisive leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the selflessness of the people and devotion to the Motherland from the side of security forces, the rebellion organized by members of the Fetö terrorist organization was ripped off and did not reach its goal.
According to official figures, as a result of the coup attempts, 253 people were killed – both civilian and military personnel
