Türkiye opened new chapter after defeating July 15 coup attempt: Erdoğan

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that Turkey has entered a new era following the successful defense against the failed July 15, 2016 coup attempt, emphasizing that subsequent reforms bolstered the country's democratic and institutional strength. In a message to a symposium marking the event's 10th anniversary, Erdoğan attributed the coup to the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ), accusing it of manipulating religious and charitable sentiments over decades. He highlighted the role of public resistance in thwarting the coup and praised the 253 victims. Erdoğan outlined measures taken to dismantle the alleged terrorist network within state institutions and reinforced the presidential system established via a 2017 referendum, citing responses to various crises as evidence of its efficacy. He reaffirmed Turkey's commitment to continuing efforts against FETÖ to prevent future threats.
