A talk was held with the theme of "Social Consequences of Coups in Psychological and Sociological Terms"

Asst. Prof. Fehmi Ağca: "It is necessary to create democratic awareness, especially among young people"

Üsküdar University, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of Political Science and International Relations (English), Assist. Prof. Fehmi Ağca emphasized the importance of creating democratic consciousness among young people. Ağca stated that "A coup d'état is an illegitimate act. Democracy is based on the people's elections; therefore, coups are illegitimate. FETO is no different from previous coups. It is necessary to create democratic consciousness, especially among young people. It is necessary to ensure the continuation of this democratic consciousness. For this reason, we remind young people every July 15. We must explain the need to protect democracy, this is our duty. Otherwise, we will not be able to preserve our democracy. The Turkish people could not carry out the FETO coup because they protected their country. Our duty is to ensure the continuation of this awareness and to protect our democracy."

HCS Director Sadık Paksoy: "Our country is the one that protects democracy the most"

HCS Director Sadık Paksoy stated that Türkiye is the country that protects democracy the most. Paksoy stated that "In democracies, changes and transformations are manifested by the free will of the people. This is demonstrated by elections. Indeed, when we compare it with the countries of the world, it is our country, our nation that embraces democracy the most, believes in it the most and reveals its very conscious choice in this regard. Our nation loves democracy, republic and free will.”

"Coup and Democracy Exhibition" opened

Another event organized as part of the July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day was the "Coup and Democracy Exhibition". The exhibition was exhibited on the campuses of Üsküdar University for a week.

In the exhibition, the events of the night of July 15 were once again told.
