Presidential Communications Director Burhanettin Duran joined a panel titled “July 15 in its 10th year: Our will, our victory,” held to mark the 10th anniversary of the July 15 coup attempt, via video message.
Duran said that the Turkish people determined the country's future on the night of July 15, 2016, and that victory over the coup plotters was made possible by the determined and independent political stance demonstrated by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from the outset of the events.
Emphasizing that FETÖ is not merely a national security issue for Türkiye, Duran said:
We expect our friends to stand with us and show solidarity in the fight against structures that seek to undermine the sovereignty of our people and our democracy. FETÖ is not merely a national security issue for Türkiye. FETÖ poses an explicit threat to every country where it operates.
