The failed coup of July 15, 2016 in Türkiye was 'an attack on democracy and an attack on a NATO ally,' says former US ambassador to Türkiye James Jeffrey
The failed coup of July 15, 2016 in Türkiye was "an attack on democracy and an attack on a NATO ally," a former US ambassador to Türkiye and Iraq has said, calling the perpetrator of the putsch a "terrorist organisation."
Speaking at the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC on Friday as it marked the sixth anniversary of the coup attempt, James Jeffrey called it a "tragic event" which he said had failed thanks to the Turkish government and its people who risked their lives to stop it from succeeding. "The July 15, 2016 coup by the terrorist Fetullah Gulen organisation was an attack on democracy and an attack on a NATO ally. Period," said Jeffrey.
