Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One of the direct consequences of the 2016 attempted coup in Turkey was the discharge of nearly 2,000 military personnel who were suspected of involvement in the coup attempt. This was part of a wider purge of perceived Gulenist sympathizers and government critics in Turkey. Suspensions of parliament, the overthrow of Erdogan, and expansion of civil and democratic rights did not result from the attempted coup.
