FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, July 15 (FENA) - Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Bosnia and Herzegovina Haldun Koç said on the occasion of the second anniversary of the coup attempt in his country that July 15, 2016, is one of the most significant milestones in the nearly 100-year history of the Republic of Turkey. The state decisively continues its democratic path and the fight against terrorism, he stressed. 

"In the history of any country, there are events that are milestones, which determine the future path of those nations irreversibly. One of the most significant milestones in the almost hundred years of the history of the Republic of Turkey occurred on July 15, 2016, when a coup and bloody terrorist action was attempted. It's been two years since then. Now that we are entering the third year since our nation has firmly stood up for the protection of democracy, the Republic of Turkey continues to move decisively towards democracy, stability and economic development. 

Such a strong opposition of Turkey to a coup attempt, which, in spite of other factors, is inherently traumatic, represents the success of the tradition of an institutionally strong and democratic country. The entire Turkish people stood against this bloody and anti-democratic attempt and it is an example of the tradition of democracy in our country and the level of democratic awareness of our people," said the Ambassador  

The Republic of Turkey draws its greatest strength from democracy and, thanks to the determination of its people and state measures in the said period, it has successfully overcome this hurdle. 

He further points out that the Fethullah Gülen's  terrorist organization (FETÖ), "which has been proven in court to be an organizer of the gruesome coup attempt, unfortunately, continues its active engagement in many countries of the world." 

"Fethullah Gülen, who, under the guise of a religious scholar, developed a specific belief system, he built his organization for almost 40 years with the main goal of taking over our country. This terrorist organization operates in many countries of the world in almost all areas, including education, and our national and global struggle against takes place but in accordance with the law. 

We will continue alerting about FETÖ all friendly countries in which this organization operates under various guises and, in the spirit of friendship and international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, cooperate with them in this area.  
It is clear that cooperation between the countries is the shortest way to stop this insidious organization. Our close cooperation in this area will continue in the future," said Ambassador Koç. 

The Turkish people today are more determined than ever to protect their hard-earned independence and democracy and to take it into the future. The people stood firmly in the defense of democracy and the look forward to the future. Turkey, with its strong institutions, will continue to be a guarantor of peace in the region and the world, said Haldun Koç.
