Coup d'état

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has commemorated the 27th anniversary of the 1997 military intervention plot, commonly known as the "post-modern coup."

Insurrections are common but Wednesday's aborted insurrection on Capitol Hill was unique, because the purpose of mobilizing a mass of people and deploying their sheer momentum against the edifices of power, a Royal or Presidential Palace, or a Parliament is of course to seize power - through the very act of seizing that iconic building.
