Türkiye marks 10th anniversary of 2016 coup attempt
Türkiye is marking the 10th anniversary of the failed July 15, 2016 coup attempt with nationwide ceremonies honoring those killed while resisting the putsch.
The commemorations are being held under the theme “Our Will, Our Victory,” with events planned across the country.
On July 15, 2016, a faction within the Turkish Armed Forces attempted to overthrow the government, deploying tanks and fighter jets in Ankara and Istanbul and targeting key state institutions, including parliament.
The attempt was defeated within hours after civilians took to the streets alongside security forces.
