TURKEY’S SECULARISM AFTER THE 2016 FAILED MILITARY COUP AND THE STATE’S DEGÜLENIZATION
Journal Title: STUDIUM - Revista studenţilor, masteranzilor şi doctoranzilor în istorie - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 10
Abstract
This article aims to establish how the political events of 2016 in Turkey have shown that the real threat is not outside the country, but within itself. The effects of Turkey's coup attempt are felt beyond the political scene in Ankara. Erdoğan’s regime is becoming more and more autocratic, and tens of thousands of its opponents have ended in prisons under the accusation of being “gülenists”. Beyond that, Turkey seems to be at a crossroad, and the path that seems tempting to take is to move further away from the European Union and its traditional Western allies. The attempted coup from the night of July 15th 2016 shocked international public opinion, surprised the government of Ankara and was like a stab for the Turkish people. What led to the 2016 attempted coup in Turkey? What are its consequences? What lesson did the government, but also the Turkish people, learn? What has changed in Turkey since that event?
