A Decade After Turkey's Failed Coup Attempt Against President Erdogan

15 Temmuz 2026Al Jazeera

Ten years after the failed coup attempt in Turkiye aimed at ousting President Erdogan, the nation continues to grapple with the implications of that event. The legacy of the coup remains a contentious issue, highlighting deep divisions within Turkish society.
As the anniversary approaches, discussions around the political and social ramifications of the coup are more relevant than ever.
The failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016, was a significant turning point for Turkiye, leading to widespread purges and a crackdown on dissent. Erdogan's government has since framed the coup as a pivotal moment in defending democracy, while critics argue it has been used to justify authoritarian measures.
The enduring divisions in Turkiye reflect not only the immediate aftermath of the coup but also the long-term impact on the political landscape. Erdogan's consolidation of power in the years following the coup has transformed the country, yet it has also led to increased polarization among the populace.
