Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan'ın "Allah'ın lütfu" olarak tanımladığı 15 Temmuz darbe girişimi sonrası süreçte en fazla personel kıyımı yaşanan kurumlardan biri de hiç şüphesiz Dışişleri Bakanlığı'ydı. Bakanlığın belkemiğini oluşturan meslek memurları ile konsolosluk ve ihtisas memurlarından oluşan 600 civarında kariyer diplomat hiçbir idari veya adli soruşturma yapılmadan ve savunmaları dahi alınmadan KHK'larla kamu görevinden çıkarıldı.

It has been five years since the failed coup attempt in Turkey and no one has any clear idea yet what actually happened that night. While the complete narrative and evidence about the failed coup have yet to be clarified, the scope of the reaction by the Turkish government to the coup attempt was quite horrifying.

In the past year, through our various publications, analyses and podcasts, instituDE has strived to shed light on Turkey; its domestic politics, economy, foreign policy and human rights situation. We have worked to provide valuable information and comments on Turkey for the foreign observers as well as the Turkish public. We put effort into raising awareness on the human rights violations and authoritarian practices in Turkey.
