On July 15, 2016, a treacherous network that had infiltrated the most sensitive institutions of the Turkish state attempted to overthrow the constitutional order and drag our country into chaos.
elchi reports that this was stated by the Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Birol Akgün, at an event held on the occasion of July 15 – Democracy and National Unity Day.
The Ambassador stated that FETÖ is a dangerous terrorist organization that operates not only through propaganda but also through secret plans, deception, and espionage methods.
“It should not be forgotten that the sole target of this structure is not just Turkey,” the diplomat emphasized.
Birol Akgün pointed out that July 15 is a glorious victory of democracy, national will, and a people devoted to their independence, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
At the event, the Ambassador expressed his gratitude to the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, for the resolute support shown against the coup attempt that took place in Turkey on July 15, 2016.
Birol Akgün noted that they are grateful to the brotherly Azerbaijani people and state, who condemned the coup attempt in the strongest terms from the very first moment and stood by Turkey: “We express our gratitude to all Azerbaijani officials who, through their stance on that dark night and subsequent high-level cooperation between institutions, once again strengthened the ‘One nation, two states’ motto.”
