Abstract

15 Temmuz 2016’da Türkiye tarihinin en kanlı askeri
darbe teşebbüsü gerçekleşti ve ilk defa toplumun, siyasetin, medyanın ve devlet kurumlarının direnişi ile püskürtüldü. Darbe girişiminin ardından geride bıraktığımız
iki yıl içinde, 15 Temmuz darbe teşebbüsü, Türkiye’nin
darbe geleneği veya asker-siyaset ilişkileri literatürü yerine
çoğunlukla FETÖ ve FETÖ-AK Parti arasındaki iktidar
mücadelesi üzerinden değerlendirmeye tabi tutuldu.
Bu çalışmada, 15 Temmuz darbe teşebbüsünü iki eski
müttefik arasında yaşanan anlaşmazlığa indirgeyen okumanın yüzeyselliğini aşmak üzere, 15 Temmuz’u aynı
anda hem mümkün hem de başarısız kılan siyasal ve sosyolojik bağlam üzerinde durulacaktır.

Reframing the July 15 Coup Attempt: A Political and Sociological Examination

Abstract

On July 15, 2016, Turkey witnessed the most bloody military
coup attempt in its history, and for the first time it was repulsed
by the resistance of society, political actors, and state institutions. In the two years since then, instead of examining this attempt from the perspective of Turkey’s military coup traditions
or civil-military relations literature, the July 15 coup attempt
has largely been seen through the lens of FETÖ and the power
struggle between FETÖ and the Justice and Development Party
(AK Party).
This study goes beyond this rudimentary and reductionist readings of the July 15 coup attempt that reduce it to a disagreement
between two former allies. Instead, it looks at it through the
political, sociological and institutional contexts that rendered
this attempt first possible and then unsuccessful at the same time.
