Turkuvaz Media Group became the center of resistance during the coup attempt. Journalists who continued their duties at the expense of their lives told that day:

Melih Altınok (Sabah Author): I spent that long night on the television channel where I started a year ago on A Haber-Atv. Haluk Çimen, General Manager of A channels, was conducting a telephone traffic to connect President Erdoğan. We evaluated the situation and entered live broadcast. We announced the words of the President that night and changed the course of the President from the screens to all of the screens: “All my nation, to the squares, the airports. You stand upright, we die, death, to death …

Nazif Karaman (News Manager): On July 15, we went to ask for a girl for my brother -in -law in Giresun Bulancak. At 21.00, a journalist called a friend and said that the soldiers turned the vehicles at some points of Istanbul. I called my own resources and learned that it was an attempt. After a while, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor Irfan Fidan called a coup attempt and said that they made a custody decision about the coup plotters. I immediately called my newspaper and A Haber and gave information. After Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, I connected to live broadcasts in A Haber and transferred the developments. I was on the live broadcast at the most critical hours. Following the street call of our President, we went to the squares in Bulancak with my wife and relatives.

Bekir Yeniay (Editor): I was in the newspaper that night. At the exit of the Bosphorus Bridge, the editorial manager who saw that the soldiers cut the road with armored vehicles, said, “The soldier has cut the bridge, what’s going on in a look.” I immediately called our regional reporter. Police said the radios were calm. Then I called our police reporter. ‘Brother, I’m investigating. Let me go back to you ‘he said. Soon after the soldier ‘is a coup. Everybody go home ‘he said. After that, we prepared the newspaper ‘History’ among the bullets of the coup d’état, the F-16 fighter planes flying on us, and the predatory sounds of helicopters.
Barış Savaş (reporter): Upon the call of President Erdoğan, my father, my brother and my brother took ablution and went to the barracks close to our residence. Our aim was to prevent traitors before they leave the barracks. Fortunately, the traitors did not support the traitors from the barracks. This time we passed in front of the police station building. I followed the anbean that the attempt to betray was active. We waited on the street until morning. When I was cleaned from the traitors of the 15th of July Martyrs Bridge, I was able to reach the newspaper, albeit difficult and transferred the developments.

Mesut Altun (Editor): At that time, I was working as a correspondent of the President of Sabah. When I found out it was a coup attempt, I wanted to go to the newspaper. However, since there was no transition from the bridges, I started to follow the developments from where I was. I compiled the historical conversation that President Erdoğan invited to land in the squares and sent it to the newspaper. On the screens, the images of traitors on the civilian people flowed. Although I was in the conflict zones before, I was the first to witness such a terrifying event. The unprecedented night of betrayal in history turned into an unforgettable victory with the glorious resistance of the nation.

We made the building and made the pages
Tamer Arslan (Page Designer): That night, after the provincial pages, I came in front of the newspaper to get some air. A non -commissioned officer in the hands of the 4 paper in the entrance floor showing the officials “signature here. We seize the building,” he said. Security guards and police on the seizure, went to the military. Soldier, “you will see soon, they will happen to you,” he threatened. Police ‘there is a coup attempt. Currently, tanks and vehicles are coming to you from the armored brigade. Take your own precaution ‘warned. There were very large tree pots in front of the building. Together we all moved to the street in front of the newspaper. Our Editor -in -Chief Metin Yüksel, our late Publication Coordinator Şaban Arslan and Editor -in -Chief Kemal Kök came. Turkuvaz Media Group Vice President Serhat Albayrak was also in the building. The building was darkened to prevent the attack of helicopters and warplanes. We started to work to make the newspaper. In the dark, we gave the final shape to the first page. Meanwhile, treacherous coup plotters attacked the building with guns. The bullets were flying in the air. We continued to work by throwing ourselves from time to time. “FETÖ’cü coup national will slap” headline we did.

‘We fought until morning’
Cemil Barlas: On the night of July 15, we were going to Etiler from Florence Nightingale Hospital, where my father had slept for a while. Traffic was extremely busy compared to that time. The roads to the first bridge were almost locked. After a while after arriving home ‘peace at the dormitory, peace in the world’ signed coup declaration was published. We suddenly grasped the seriousness of the incident. We set off for the first target of the coup plotters. When you entered the building, the General Manager of A Channels Abdulhalik Çimen was in the hands of President Tayyip Erdoğan. Together we entered the studio and the camera in the studio released the president’s call to the street from that phone. We also participated in the publication of Banu El and Cem Küçük and we fought on A News screens until the morning.

Due to the 9th anniversary of the July 15 coup attempt, the program titled “The Name of Solidarity” was organized in the memory 15 July Museum with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and 15 July Association hosted by Turkuvaz Media Group.

‘We returned from the edge of the cliff’

Speaking in the program, Governor Gül, “Martyrs and veterans are not only the numbers. This place has a spirit. He gives those moments. We can remember the events 9 years ago while visiting.

When this structure, which infiltrated all units, was noticed before July 15, our President launched a struggle. The country was taken from the edge of the cliff with the courage and the relief of our nation. Not only internal security, but in Syria Karabakh with military elements, we have come to an important position in Türkiye without terrorism. We will continue to eliminate threats and dangers and strengthen our brotherhood. We will continue to protect the relics of our martyrs and veterans, “he said.

‘Young people need to understand well’

Calendar newspaper columnist Ekrem Kızıltaş: We have come to the end of a period that caused a 2 trillion pounds of material loss that cost 40 thousand lives for 41 years. We saw that the basis of eliminating the scourge of terrorism was prepared on the night of July 15th. It is necessary to understand what happened and to warn again when coming to July 15th. If we remember Bosnia, it is necessary to forget this event with the word called repeated. Young people need to understand and evaluate well. Turkuvaz Media’s publications are important in this sense. He has signed programs that remind us of July 15 with all publications.

‘They scanned us’

İlhami Çil, the Deputy of the Association of July 15: We saw that there was a departure on July 15. We saw that they had aimed at the nation as if a terrorist was coming. When we came to the bridge, we had a Turkish flag irrigated with the blood of our veterans. They scanned us. I was injured in my ankle bone. We were still trying to walk. They were running to the son of a mother and trying to save me from the fire line under the gun. We are the son of a saint nation. We are happy because of that. They were also instructed to shoot and shoot the ambulance and the police vehicle. When we were shot that night, we said don’t leave them to them. We have protected its own will and leader. Let’s not forget, let’s not forget. These relatives of martyrs and veterans and their families are entrusted to us, we have fought for the homeland.

“We sacrificed our lives and blood for the homeland”
Gazi Oğuz Ayanoğlu: I learned that there was a road closure on the bridge in Kısıklı. We immediately went to the bridge with my brother Onur. A father was in front of me and had a daughter. ‘Dad don’t go,’ he shouted. Then they shot his father and fell on his back. When we went to get the wounded, they opened fire on us. I was shot from the hip. Honor was lying lifeless in the throat. They took it to the hospital. I had a nervous breakdown when I got the bitter news. We sacrificed a blood and our lives.

“I lost my arm but I didn’t lose my homeland”
Gazi Üzeyir Civan: On July 15, we gave the lowest equivalent to the bastards on earth. We have martyrs and veterans at the age of 9. We were going to the airport in the morning. When we came to Tuzla toll booths, we saw that the treacherous network was there. I couldn’t be indifferent to that when I was nearby. I all shouted at the tooth to raise and warn my hands to see and warn a few soldiers in front of the road. But when my hands were in the air, I suddenly heard a ringing. I saw my left arm falling apart. I lost my arm, but I didn’t lose my homeland. We had hero children who claimed this homeland. “

“Nation has prevented the division of the country and the disintegration of the country”
15 July Association President İsmail Hakkı Turunç: They told the soldiers who made this treacherous attempt when they said that they received orders when you were told to your brothers. In front of the Metropolitan Municipality, the fire opened in the Saraçhanesi with the fire of the bullet hives falling from the ground and hid. I remember the blows. I remember those who look like politicians and democrats, but I don’t remember that the nation was rained on the nation like on July 15th.

When the country was divided, when the government fell out of the system, they would divide the country and disintegrate. It would be shared by the United States, England, Israel and other forces. If the homeland is going to get rid of our lives, we owe a lot of things to the soul that says to sacrifice. They gave us an independent and free country. Again, thousands of people will be in front of them and will fight. I offer my gratitude to those who write the epic of heroism.

Bahçeli, in his description, gave the following statements:

The excuse of our existence in the Anatolian geography is also the medar and mevibibe of the flag of homeland and nation consciousness with the spirit of national unity. The victory of Malazgirt has opened a road to the future, not only a gate of a dormitory, but also started a journey of civilization.

The cruelty of the dagger and the bright horizon of Anatolia, which stuck in the bosom of Anatolia, were dismantled with the virtue and conquest of the Turkish nation. Essentially, Mahut, which approaches a thousand years, has been made in the historical course of noble respect and victorious gains.

The Crusades are only part of them. Therefore, July 15, 2016 is an important threshold in Turkish history.

The occupation, invasion and annexation plans of the Anatolian geography by being yellow for long centuries were desirable to be concluded on July 15 with the narrow -permanent military coup attempt in which the FETÖ terrorist organization, whose souls were seized and seized.

Mumin -looking idolate and hypocritical outbreaks that infiltrate into the national being; They attacked the state, the nation, the homeland, all kinds of values and custody with a gun. Thank God, the Turkish nation crushed his head by embracing the dignity of martyrdom and veteran of the poisonous and traitors in the air and land, which rebelled on July 15th, raining bombs from the air and land.

On the night of July 15, the Turkish Nation, who resisted the bullets and challenged tanks, who had challenged the helicopter and warplanes that were blown in the form of pirates, took care of the Bilavasa and Bizatihi presence. The ethics of the enormous national awakening and epic unity, brotherhood and solidarity have made Türkiye impassable.

Umanlar from the darkness regretted it. Of course, and certainly July 15 should not be forgotten. Future generations should always show stance on alert, vigilant and one heart in order not to be exposed to 15 July. As long as we love each other and give hand in hand in the circle of respect and understanding, no internal and external hostility front will see the day of the day, will not be able to succeed, and will not scatter the seeds of discord.

As long as we are one, alive and awake, the enemies of Türkiye will not be able to hold against us and will not take a betrayal distance. On July 15, I commemorate our heroic martyrs with respect, mercy and gratitude on the Day of Democracy and Millers. I wish long and healthy life to our veterans of courage.
I greet the Turkish nation, the owner of will and sovereignty, with respect and affection. Self -organized in the warm and hot squares of July 15; In addition, I believe in the hearts of the Republican Alliance, which is the mecmuu of a moral, spiritual and national embrace, will hit the seal of peace, peace, prosperity and brotherhood. “
