Yönet C. Tezel: More than just a failed coup in Turkey on July 15

I watched the events in Turkey from my home in Kyiv with disbelief and anger. I was in disbelief because who in their right mind could think they could put an end to the democratic process in today’s Turkey. I felt anger because they dared to use parts of NATO’s second largest army against its own people in an attempt to halt the democratic way of life I, like many millions of Turks, so value for ourselves and our children. Coming as no surprise to anyone with a proper understanding of Turkish society, the coup attempt failed within hours, but unfortunately with human losses.
