Özet

The history of Turkey is full of bloody coups in which army took over the government. As a result, the attitude towards the coups, which caused the country to fall behind in many areas, can be affirmed to some extent as a result of a number of political prejudices. Parallel to this, it was observed that the events faced during the coup attempt in July 15th such as the bombing of the National Assembly, the murder of civilians by army officers, the attempted assassination of the state administrators, etc., were presented differently in different media institutions and accordingly their reflection on the community varied.
