Abstract

On the night of July 15, the Republic of Turkey was attacked in the most treacherous way ever. The FETÖlinked army officers attempted to overthrow the elected president, Erdoğan, and the AK Party government. However, the July 15 was not a mere military coup. It was the manifestation of the parallel structuring within the state that has recently become the top-priority issue of Turkey. This paper aims to investigate the unprecedented nature of the July 15 incident and its heroic aftermath. Unexpectedly, international community failed to see the big picture regarding the coup attempt. This study hence concentrates on the factors behind this failure. The influence of FETÖ diaspora network in the West over generating the discourse on Turkey is significant in that sense. The study problematizes the usage of false analogies as a part of this manipulation process. The paper concludes that contrary to the efforts of FETÖ and its international collaborators, New Turkey is in the process of its formation and this time with the historic opportunity for creating a plural and truly democratic republic that should not be missed

Özet

15 Temmuz gecesi Türkiye Cumhuriyeti daha önce yaşamadığı şekilde haince bir saldırıya maruz kaldı. FETÖ bağlantılı oldukları ortaya çıkan askerler, seçilmiş Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan ve AK Parti Hükûmetini devirmek üzere girişimde bulundular. Ancak bu, sıradan bir askerî darbe değildi. Son yıllarda Türkiye'nin bir numaralı meselesi haline gelen devlet içindeki paralel yapılanma tüm varlığıyla gün yüzüne çıkmıştı. Bu makale 15 Temmuz hadisesinin ve destansı ertesinin emsalsizliğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Hadisenin ardından gelen uluslararası tepkiler meselenin iç yüzünü anlamaktan umulmadık biçimde uzak olmuşur. Bu çalışma, ayrıca, uluslararası çevrelerin meseleyi algılama hususundaki başarısızlığına yol açan faktörler üzerine eğilmektedir. Bu minvalde FETÖ'nün diaspora ağının Batı'daki söylemin oluşmasındaki rolü kayda değerdir. Çalışma, bu manipülasyon sürecinin bir parçası olan yanlış analojilerin kullanımını da sorunsallaştırmaktadır. FETÖ ve uluslararası işbirlikçilerinin tüm aksi çabalarına rağmen, Yeni Türkiye kaçırılmaması gereken tarihî bir fırsat yakalayarak çoğulcu ve gerçek anlamda demokratik bir cumhuriyet olma yolunda oluşumunu sürdürmektedir.
