'It was a false flag operation.' A Turkish admiral and some of his fellow officers say they are convinced President Erdogan staged a 2016 coup attempt in an effort to expand power, though analysts cast doubt that Erdogan was behind it.
'New democracy and national unity day'
The Turkish embassy said in a statement to NPR that there is still an arrest warrant for the admiral, and questioned why he won't return home. The arrests continue in Turkey, four years after the failed coup. Some 80,000 military officers, judges, lawyers, teachers and journalists are facing trial. Some 130,000 have lost their jobs.
"It was a false flag operation," Ugurlu says. It was a perfect plan initiated, controlled and executed by the regime. But they made many mistakes and left clear evidence and witnesses behind them." "It was very painful. I love my homeland," he says."I have served 30 years with loyalty to my lovely country, but I couldn't turn back."
