Turkish people’s glorious resistance sent a clear message to those who would threaten their sovereignty. The 252 fallen and 2,734 injured on July 15 are only the vanguards of millions more who are ready to fight for their country Opinion | tarek_cher

Fortunately, Türkiye’s secret weapon – its lionhearted people - mobilised hand in hand with the government and fought to resist the onslaught of subversive elements threatening Turkish democracy. From a geo-strategic point of view, it is well known that coups are generally part of great power politics aimed to crush the legitimate political aspirations of various nations in the Global South to achieve more independent policies.During the Cold War, international powers, including the United States and the Soviet Union, regularly resorted to toppling governments to pursue their interests.
This story is edifying because the July 15 coup attempt would have taken Türkiye decades back, hijacking its national will and transforming the country into a vassal state to Western powers with no say about its interests.Politically, defeating the coup allowed Türkiye to preserve its political stability and democracy because coups are anathema to the principles of peace, human dignity, and democracy.
Among the most dangerous vulnerabilities was FETO’s infiltration of the judiciary and police, endangering the law-enforcement authorities’ independence and impartiality and putting vital tenets of democracy like the separation of powers into question.
