Türkiye marked the 10th anniversary of the failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016, with officials vowing to continue the fight against the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), which they blame for the attempt.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the defeated coup attempt as a declaration of independence for the "Türkiye Century," highlighting the nation's sacrifice and resilience. He vowed that Türkiye will continue its fight against the FETO terrorist organization under the rule of law until the threat is fully eliminated.
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the July 15, 2016 failed coup attempt demonstrated that Türkiye's national will would never submit to tutelary forces or terrorist organizations. Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus said the Turkish people ended the country's long history of military coups through their resistance to the defeated putsch.
The coup attempt killed 251 people and wounded more than 2,000. Turkish authorities have not produced a comprehensive and transparent public investigation into what happened. Senior officials were not questioned, testimony challenging the official account was sidelined, and journalists who examined unresolved aspects of the coup faced prosecution.
The Turkish Embassy in Washington hosted a ceremony honoring the 251 victims of the coup attempt. Ambassador Sedat Onal told attendees that the FETO terror network remains active in America despite Ankara's sustained efforts to dismantle the organization.
First Lady Emine Erdoğan said the July 15, 2016 defeated coup attempt symbolizes the Turkish nation's unwavering courage and resistance, paying tribute to the martyrs and veterans who defended democracy against the FETÖ-led putsch.
Communications Director Burhanettin Duran said the failed July 15, 2016 coup attempt was a defining moment that shaped Türkiye's future, crediting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's decisive leadership for the victory.
The coup attempt and the sweeping crackdown launched in its aftermath continue to shape Turkey’s politics, state institutions, and civil society, while the human rights consequences of the government’s response endure.
A parliamentary commission established to investigate the coup completed its work, but its final report was never published and its whereabouts remain unknown. Then-chief of General Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar and then-intelligence chief Hakan Fidan did not testify before the commission or in related court proceedings.
Detainees later described widespread torture and ill-treatment, including beatings, sexual threats, and denial of access to toilets and medical care. The state-run Anadolu news agency published images of detained generals and other senior officers with visible injuries, including bruised and bloodied faces, providing some of the earliest public evidence of abuse.
By the following day, authorities had begun mass detentions and suspensions across the military and judiciary. The country’s top judicial board suspended 2,745 judges and prosecutors, and detention warrants were issued for them, while thousands of military personnel were detained or placed under investigation.

Funkci vládního zmocněnce pro klimatickou politiku a Green Deal vymyslel Filipu Turkovi (za Motoristy) kabinet jako náplast za to, že jej prezident nechtěl jmenovat opravdovým ministrem. Co ale ve funkci zatím dělal, jak se choval a co znamená to, že její výkon teď může do vyšetření své autonehody přerušit? Jde o pozici, kterou mu vláda vymyslela na míru, zároveň je ale vymezená natolik obecně, že v ní měl velkou volnost.
