Turkey, which is a
democratic state of law based on separation of powers, has been subjected to
different military interventions directly or indirectly throughout the history
of democracy and this has deeply affected the political process. The last of these
military interventions took place on 15 July 2016. This coup attempt is different in many respects from
other military interventions. However,
it reminds me of the 27 May 1960 coup with some aspects. Coup declaration were written and shared with the public
during the military intervention process. Coup declarations are
texts prepared carefully because they are the first messages given to the
society. This messages, given to the society, encloses statements about
yesterday, today and tomorrow. The coup declarations, which has become a
tradition as in every military intervention, and which contains the reason,
purpose and messages of the coup, has been read from TRT screens. The method of
this study is to make a socio-political reading on the coup declaration. In
this study, it is aimed to evaluate the efforts of the coupists to get public
support or to convince society from a sociological and political point of view. Thus, the
July 15 coup attempt is evaluated from a different perspective.

Kuvvetler ayrılığına
dayalı demokratik bir hukuk devleti olan Türkiye, demokrasi tarihi boyunca
doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak farklı askeri müdahalelere maruz kalmış ve bu
durum siyasal süreci derinden etkilemiştir. Askeri müdahalelerin sonuncusu ise
15 Temmuz 2016 yılında yaşanmıştır. Bu darbe girişimi, diğer askeri
müdahalelerden bir çok açıdan farklı olmakla beraber bazı yönleriyle 27 Mayıs
1960 darbesini hatırlatmaktadır. Askeri müdahale sürecinde darbe bildirileri
kaleme alınmış ve kamuoyu ile paylaşılmıştır. 
Darbe bildirileri topluma verilen ilk mesajlar olması sebebiyle özenle
hazırlanan ve düne, bugüne ve yarına dair topluma açıklamalarda bulunan
metinlerdir. Her askeri müdahalede olduğu gibi bu darbe girişiminde de gelenek
haline gelen ve darbenin gerekçesi, amacı ve mesajlarını içeren darbe
bildirisi, TRT ekranlarından okunmuştur. Bu çalışmada yöntem olarak darbe
bildirisi üzerinden sosyo-politik bir okuma yapılmaktadır. Çalışmada, bildiri
metni üzerinden hareketle, darbecilerin kamuoyu desteğini almak veya toplumu
ikna etmeye yönelik çabalarını sosyolojik ve siyasal açıdan değerlendirmek
amaçlanmaktadır. Böylelikle, 15 Temmuz darbe girişimi farklı açıdan
değerlendirilmektedir.
