How Erdoğan Reshaped Turkey Over a Decade Following a Failed Coup
On July 15, 2016, Turkey attempted a military coup against the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, resulting in the death of 253 people and ultimately being thwarted. This was followed by a broad wave of purges targeting supporters of the Fethullah Gulen movement, as well as companies and institutions linked to it. These measures solidified Erdoğan's authority and led to constitutional amendments that helped transform the country’s system into a presidential regime. As a result, institutional independence diminished, concerns grew over authoritarian tendencies and restrictions on freedoms, and these changes also influenced foreign policy and escalated the country’s security choices. Additionally, Turkey experienced changes in the military’s role and expanded its foreign alliances, despite U.S. sanctions on the Russian defense system and setbacks in efforts to join the European Union.
