Erdoğan vows continued fight against FETÖ
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Türkiye would not lower its guard against FETÖ, terror organization responsible for the July 15, 2016 coup attempt, warning that it continued to pose a threat a decade later.
Speaking at a ceremony in parliament on July 15, Erdoğan commemorated the 253 people killed while resisting the coup and praised lawmakers for standing against the plot even as the assembly was bombed.
“We must not forget that we are dealing with an organization that used the opportunities offered by democracy to gain strength and then turned its guns on its own people,” Erdoğan said.
“If we forget, we will face the same problems again. We will remain vigilant and will not lower our guard in the fight against the organization.”
