Turkish coup d'état

Turkey's last general from the country's bloody 1980 coup era was laid to rest in Istanbul on Saturday, having passed away two days ago at the age of 90.

Following a military ceremony, Tahsin ?ahinkaya was buried in Karacaahmet Cemetery following the noon prayer and a funeral ceremony at Selimiye Mosque, which was attended by a large number of high-ranking officers.

The prosecution of the Sept. 12, 1980 military coup should continue despite the recent death of the last suspect, Republican People?s Party (CHP) deputy ?enal Sar?han has said at an emotional press conference in Ankara, during which she burst into tears. 

Turkish former air force general Tahsin ?ahinkaya, the last surviving leader of the  1980 coup which led to military rule and left lasting scars on the country, died on Thursday. He was 90.

The putsch on September 12, 1980 was the bloodiest in Turkey's coup-ridden history, overthrowing a civilian government and putting in place a military junta that ruled Turkey for three years.

The name of a street in the Aegean province of Ayd?n has been changed from Kenan Evren Street to Erdal Eren Street to honor a 17-year-old high school student who was executed following the 1980 Turkish military coup led by Kenan Evren.

It was the mother of republican Turkey?s many bad habits. It was 55 years ago this week when some officers staged a coup against the elected, ever-strong Democrat Party (DP) government of the country, overthrowing an obsessively majoritarian mentality, but at the same time setting precedence for a ?tradition of military interventions? and laying down the foundations of a military tutelage.

Sept. 12, 1980, coup leader Kenan Evren died last week on May 9, 2015. So much was written after his death that I thought there was probably nothing else left uncovered about him and the era he symbolizes.  
The only thing I can write about is my personal evolution, being from the generation that experienced that era. 

A construction project on the uninhabited Yass?ada, a small but infamous island located off the coast of Istanbul?s Asian side in the Marmara Sea, was officially started on May 14 in a ceremony with the participation of the prime minister.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu has pledged to wipe out all marks of military coups in Turkey.

Davuto?lu?s remarks on May 13 came a day after the funeral of Kenan Evren, the mastermind of the military coup in 1980, who passed away on May 10 at the age of 97 at a hospital in the Turkish capital Ankara.

The body of the leader of Turkey?s 1980 military coup and former president was taken to the military headquarters in Ankara on May 12, for a funeral service that was boycotted by the government and opposition politicians.

Turkey?s General Staff has announced that a state funeral for Kenan Evren, the country?s former coup leader and seventh president who died late on May 9, will be held at the ?protocol mosque? of Ankara on May 12.
