Erdoğan says Türkiye 'stronger' 10 years after failed coup
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has marked the 10th anniversary of the July 15, 2016 coup attempt, saying Türkiye must keep alive the spirit of resistance shown that night.
In an article written for the anniversary, Erdoğan described July 15 as “a great victory of democracy” in which the people defended their will, democracy and independence.
“Ten full years have passed since that ominous night, when a great nation fought at the cost of its life for its independence and future,” Erdoğan wrote.
He said the Turkish people had given “one of the greatest lessons in history” to those who attempted to occupy the country and their collaborators.
