The Traitorous Coup Attempt of 15 July and Turkish Public Diplomacy

In this special issue, Turkey's fight against the Fetullah Terrorist Organisation (FETÖ) is discussed in the context of public diplomacy on the ninth anniversary of the treacherous coup attempt on 15 July 2016.

The diplomatic, legal, and communication-based struggle against this structure, which threatens Turkey's national security, has been evaluated through international media coverage and strategic communication policies.

Public diplomacy strategies developed against disinformation processes in Western public opinion have been analysed with examples of headlines from the German press.

As KADAM – Public Diplomacy Application and Research Centre, we express our gratitude to all citizens who stand up for our democracy; we remember our martyrs with mercy and our veterans with gratitude.
