Turkish military coup anniversaries and commemorations

Overview

Turkey has observed significant anniversaries related to historical military interventions. On the 46th anniversary of the September 12, 1980, military coup, political figures and civil society groups condemned the regime led by Kenan Evren, which dissolved the Grand National Assembly and suspended the Constitution. The period was marked by widespread human rights violations, including approximately 650,000 detentions and numerous executions.

Additionally, commemorations were held for the 65th anniversary of the executions of former Prime Minister Adnan Menderes, Foreign Minister Fatin Rüştü Zorlu, and Finance Minister Hasan Polatkan following the May 27, 1960, military coup. These ceremonies emphasized the importance of the rule of law and described the executions as a “dark chapter in Turkish democratic history.”
