- On July, 15 2016 a faction of the Turkish Military attempted to overthrow the government. During the short lived coup attempt 246 people were killed, 179 of which were civilians. In the aftermath President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had thousands of members of the military and judiciary arrested, had at least 21,000 teachers fired or suspended, and shut down 2,500 educational institutions.

Ok , this is the greatest, worst, weirdest and absolutely historical trip I’ve ever seen. Glad to see you guys made it out safe .
All the videos are from different people, there isn't a journalist. Vice gathers and edits them together in this format. Great content
@@johnpearson4218 I agree. I'm not really into politics but the video storytelling was breathtaking. This is probably one of the best content from vice in my book. It felt like I was there, feeling all the emotion, the intensity. (does not mean I want to be there, my condolences to the victims)
so you forgot how they treat kurdish and armenian?
@@iamhardwell2844 tf this have to do with a brutal coup?
@Kamil S should ask those Turkish people about Turkish lira😁😁

Why did it take them 5 years to finally release this, I am just curious?

they do multiple reports of the same event and scape the ones that arnt as good,

@@Crazy_Talk96 those were Kurdish protestors protesting over how they were not allowed to mourn PKK members recently killed too. They’re not even saying Allahu Akhbar, they’re chanting a message of support for their martyrs and how they won’t be divided.
and What's wrong WiTH sAYINg Allahu Akbàr
The civilians played a major part in the failed coup attempt, power to the people.
power to the poeple? dude should have been overthrown, it's in the constitution. Erdogan has an almost absolute rule in a democracy, the coup was to set that wrong, right. nationalism is a hell of a drug
Not Power to the People!! They used the civilians like HUMAN SHIELDS!!!!
@@kingbelowme yeah and Nationalism is what keeps a nation together. Ever heard about it? And no the military wasn’t doing any right. You’d just have another military regime like in places such as Egypt
@@kingbelowme Doesn't matter. This is not the revolution by the people either. This was a coup attempt by a small group of people. I will take nationalist populist leader that ascend through democracy over self appointed leader by force anytime. Even if it opposes my political values.
@@thastayapongsak4422 a democratically elected dictator? Hmm. That’s interesting. You also know the coup would have got him out of power and they would have held fresh elections. It amazes me how much people love Fascism. Nationalism is tribalism. Where you reject reality and blindly follow the state
Seeing all those workers and students fighting the rebels while theh carry the turkish flag is one of the most emotional things i've seen, i am not a turk but the turkish people are one of the most patriotic people on earth.

Jeez you can feel the energy through the screen.
Human unity can both be devastating, but it can also be a hundredfold greater.
My heart goes with you Turkey.
No matter what, you have to admire the courage of those people coming out to the streets with nothing but their own national flag to abort a coup.
This is one of the greatest moments of history I have lived. The Turkish people have shown the world their bravery and love of country.
It’s still crazy to think this event is never really remembered ever after all this years
The music had me thinking: "What a great commercial for Erdogan!"
Yeah the leader that has allowed their armed force to take “comfort women” by force from Syria and sell them to Turkish fighting factions in Libya.
The leader has came out in support of the old empire too in front of cheering crowds it’s horrific.
because it really was, he increased his power on the politics with the presidential system and with the support he gained in this coup, he’s unbeatable in the elections today
@@raquetdude I've heard this too, wonder how common the practise is
@@raquetdude do you really has a proof for that?
in the end it's what the people want
said the democracy
Flights canceled? That's fine, time for a documentary then.
What else can you do, really?
5:58 it's surreal to see the tiananmen tank moment being reenacted in Turkey. It takes guts of steel to face fast moving military vehicles head on 😱
Why do some parts look staged?
I get what you mean, but this is in no way comparable to the Tiananmen situation. That was a government crackdown on a protest, while this is a civilian attempt to stop tanks from aiding a coup of the government, essentially a pro-government action.

@@LowMedow because it's a coup, alot of people were in the loop of what was about to happen and playing along, others not so much.
Made me cry. I pray for our people as a whole.
Great documentary but you probably could’ve done a better job of explaining the movement behind the attempt.
its a propaganda piece lol not documentary
It was to apparently restore secular democracy, a job Ataturk gave to the military to ensure it stayed secular democracy.
@@elsosa7863 I bet you think Tucker Carlson is a legitimate news source lol.
My mind is blurry around when the news was talking about this, I don't recall them ever mentioning the military's reason.
@@elsosa7863 how? That's nonsense. There no explanation of what the goals are on either side. There's no good guys here they are all assholes.
Man you really have to admire the Turkish citizens, inspirational. Idk what the Coup was about or for what reason. But the citizens didnt get mad they just showed love, expressed how they where feeling and passively resisted, they even tried to have conversations with the soldiers about what they are doing, asking them why they are shooting at they're own citizens and trying to come to a peaceful resolution. It's amazing what people can do when they unite. I hope you all find peace happiness and prosperity. As an Australian I have always had respect for Turkey anyway after our troubled past in Gallipoli, A strong, brave and honorable country. ✌️
Reminded me a big of the Euromaidan and the start of the revolution of dignity.
The Turkish Republic has (or had) a policy laid out by the founder of the country Ataturk that would grant the military the power to replace governments that tested the country’s democracy and constitution. The military saw Erdogan as an authoritarian threat to the Turkish Republic. However, the civilian reaction was probably due to the fear that of past military coups which had previously themselves resulted in brutal military dictatorships
@@jamesmartin6750 yh, not good to have the military rule
@@jamesmartin6750 of course ataturk wanted the military to intervene, because if the people were to decide it would be a Muslim country.
Ataturk welcomed the ANZAC martyrs as sons of turkey because they were buried there
I remember that day can’t believe it’s already been 5 years
It was fake and designed to serve as a purge of high profile individuals who weren’t loyal to Erdogan. It resulted in a consolidation of power by Erdogan loyalists.
Erdogan is a puppet to foreign powers and the Turkish population is forced into mandatory conscription to be used as footsoldiers for neocolonial foreign powers.
@@MS-tc2fs yea.. ur life is also a conspiration. 😋
One of the crazy things about this video is watching the destructive power of military hardware. It almost leaves you breathless and shows what they can do in an urban battlefield.
This also made Erdogan much more powerful and he was able to consolidate power, now he's the only dictator in NATO.
Hungary calling.
@hakuna matata false
He is not a dictator, their party lost the municipal elections
exactly mate - well said. It's rare I'm happy for a military coup to succeed. You have to be pretty bad to make me think that's ok... but Erdogan has stolen what Turkey was, and morphed it into his image. atatürk would be rolling in his grave.....
dont worry he is leaving in 2 years.

Being a soldier I feel for both sides because as a soldier if you are given a command by your superiors and dont carry it out the consequences could be loosing your life and if you carry out those order like in a coup you face execution...damn rock and a hard place
@@SlackerU worse, if the soldier fails on either side, the soldier's family is on the chopping block for their mistake
In the USA, you swear an oath to defend the constitution and take orders from the president and officers appointed over you according to military law. If the order is illegal, immoral, or unethical as a soldier you should have the integrity and courage to hold your duty to the oath you took and disobey that wrongful order. You are a human, not a robot, you Don't Have to follow an illegal order. Don't use the Nazi excuse
@@scottbeaulieu8192 you are talking like a civilian...you swear an oath to the constitution not the president and military law and codes are part of that oath my guy....orders are orders go watch the story vice did recently did about Nigerians protesting about police and where vice compares it to the jan 6th insurrection then you'll know how close the house of cards came to falling down, especially the answer given by the former secretary of defense if trump gave the order to overthrow the government what he would do,he simply said I dont know
@@SlackerU is that what you think that soldiers come from peasant families??? I pity what you think of the men and women who protect your country,its the most unappreciated job on earth thankless and you get no fame for it,and suffer mentally you have split second decisions and kill people and maybe save a few lives....sometimes I wished I just took my degree and had an office job but I left all that to do what most people woudnt,have some respect
@@fightingpit You're aware that most of our soldiers don't see combat.
Seeing civilians escorting soliders out to be arrested was a crazy sight
It could happen anywhere. The biggest component is the role the media plays. The biggest progress from events like this is people are seen, then the coverage leads to people being heard.
WOW!! Power to the People!! Standing up in unison is powerful. This is scary, humbling but most of all, I feel MASSIVE RESPECT for the people of Turkey, who stood up with their own lives in the face of tanks and gun's.

I don’t think you understand the background here. It was patriot to attempt a coup attempt against a conservative, religious autocrat. The military was trying to restore democracy and secularism.
@@ttrestle no, by patriotism I mean that the people were ready to give their life for what they believe was good for their country. This kind of sacrificial mindset is needed to be respected. Idc what the military wanted. I care about what the citizen wants as the main power of it's country lies in it's citizens.

Turkish Military: "How did the coup possibly fail?!"
Idk, maybe next time don't run over cars with tanks and make the civilian population who you need support from, hate you.
Depends, historically without much popular support they can just shoot a lot more and still take control.
They should have taken better control of the media to demonize the enemy, tell everyone something absolutely evil about the enemy true or false doesn't matter, shoot any group of resistance as it was forming.
No real revolution is made without spilling blood.
@@MrRedsjack You can only do this if you aren't the enemy and the cause of the countries problems.
Its why republicans failed. You can only bullshit people with popular support before hand.
It was only a small group within the military
@@anilaltun2190 the size of the army doesn’t really matter rather what points they take over and how fast they take over them all and how well they defend them until the opposition starts to run out of resources
You know it’s heavy when civilians call for execution of the traitors. I was a soldier at that time stationed in Ardahan in the far east of Turkey. Soldiers who went to ankara were given orders to execute the president like how khadaffi and mubarek were executed. They used thanks to shoot the parlemental building in Ankara because they thought Erdogan was inside. Thank god he wasn’t.
These people have balls

Man, I visited Russia during this time and did a layover in Istanbul. The day after I landed in Istanbul, but was already in Russia, the Airport had a terrorist attack. Then after two weeks in Russia, my return trip was through that same airport. One day after I was already home, Martial Law was declared....crazy two weeks in Istanbul.
I remember watching this on the news, this is never before seen footage for me holy Christ
"Democracy cannot be stopped" That's now a moot point when Erdogan is consistently and persistently removing many democratic norms and becoming more like a dictator with every passing day. One thing is for certain, with Erdogan in charge, the chances of Turkey becoming an EU country are non-existent. And the more it isolates itself, the less prosperous it will be.
If it comes down to a vote Turkey will never be a EU nation, the East will not allow it. Also it is not in Europe. Agreed on Ergodan though he is a pig just as much as these scumbags shooting at civillians, Its somthing he has done aswell
I did think that comment was funny considering she doesn't live in a democracy.
Lol you people will support a coup when it suits your cause
The EU has made it clear over and over again that it doesn't want to have Turkey in it, mostly because of anti-Muslim bigotry. You can't expect the Turks, who live in a a country as big as Germany and bigger than the UK and France, with a military bigger than any of theirs, to constantly beg to be let into this little club. Turks have done much better going their own way.
the idea of Turkey joining the EU has been scrapped by both sides for a while now, Turks waited long enough Europe didn't comply, so the government looked in the opposite direction. This is Europes fault as well.
This video gives me the feels. Awesome people.
WOW ... That was extreme. I could feel the energy through the screen.
I think it's good to also tell the military reasoning. They are tasked to protect the democracy and the secular state as envisioned by Atatürk. They did that many times before and reinstated a democratic government immediately afterwards.
Erdogan is on a path to become a dictator. And all the values the Turks differed with from most of the Arab world are slowly getting lost. That's why they tried to overthrow Erdogan.
Exactly
and yet he was protected by the majority this is what democracy looks like
@@Relaxatihon The same situation in Russia.
Yeah that’s democracy the army can’t just remove the government if he doesn’t like it. the arab world is different in many ways just look at Egypt and how the army is running things there after a coup d'état
But if the majority of the population prefers more Islamic rule than secular, then let it be since that’s democracy
Burası Türkiye, ulan.

But do they have democracy anymore ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 IT was a perfect trick for Erdogan to consolidate his power. LOOL

Whaaa? Did you watch the video?
They only showed one side. We're supposed to sympathize with the "people" who think they are supporting "democracy".
Raw footage doesn't mean no narrative or no manipulation. You just pick what to show and what not to show.
Why do some parts look staged?
@@brett4264 fair point. I was more inferring that there isn’t some talking head trying to explain away the situation. Just from what I gathered and based on the info given at the end of the video, the President of Turkey is/has been consolidating his power into more of a dictatorship. Which seems more than not to be the preferred form of government in these Islamist countries. That’s why I’ve always been against U.S. intervention in the Middle East trying to spread Democracy as usually either the populace of said countries don’t want it or don’t get it or both. They seem to love authoritarianism.

I heard of this is a rather odd way as it was happening. I was at a little open-air festival in germany without an internet-capable phone, and suddenly everybody was talking about it. by the time I got home and checked aljazeera, it was mostly over.
Brought tears in my eyes
Looking at this event..i gotta say it was one of the most interesting and surreal events to have watched unfold.
I think people need to understand the political situation in Turkey. Ataturk who was the founder of the republic envisioned a secular and democratic nation and entrusted the safekeeping of democracy and secularism to the military. Previous coups in turkey actually restored democratic institutions. While I'm no expert on the socio political context of this latest one, we should realize that Erdogan does intact push the nation to conservatism and does act in autocratic ways...
And he's clearly popular because of it, not every country is like the West, Western style democracy has simply failed in most countries in the world
@@ibadurrehman1210 I agree, im not saying im opposed to Erdogan on a geopolitical level. I get that maybe people want a more conservative society, im just saying that Ataturk established a framework for what he considered the modern Turkey to look like and then entrusted the military with the power to enforce it. So regardless of what I believe, I would say that the coup was not necessarily an irrational act, its entirely rational granted the historical context. Yet considering the inflation of the lira, the state of the Turkish economy, and Erdogans actions against press freedom and western allies, I think it could be better.
@@ibadurrehman1210 thats bs, he mid have been popular, but removing the opposition, mean that people cant redecide.
he has ruined the country, with corupption and his incompetence, the lira is worthless, turky has lost all its firends and money.
western demociracy has failed bc of people like him. democracy is the only way, a dictzator doesnt care for the people. Look wich countrys have the best living standarts and which have the worst, democracys are on top, while dictatorships are at the bottom, this isnt a matter of culture, some thinks are universally bad, and dictatorships is one of those things
That what we what islamic ruling
Bir türk olarak size katılmıyorum.

this is so unsettling. great content
I feel so bad for those solders that were defending their government, only to get killed by their fellow solders.
Whats weird about the Turkish uprising, is it was a Modern DEVELOPED city. Its weird seeing coup-led F-16's buzzing highly delevoped cities with sky scrapers, firing on targets that are so minor. (minor as in, the military isn;'t having all out war in the streets against coup-led troops. its just little small pockets here and there)
