The July 15 Memory Museum encapsulates the sacrifices of those who laid down their precious lives defending the country from the coup. As the day is remembered as Democracy and National Unity Day, here's a look into the museum.
Some of them rushed out in their slippers, the red-and-blue rubber slide-ins any one of us wear on a given day. Some came out wearing fluffy pink sandals which we use to get comfortable in our homes as we stroll to the kitchen, pick up a soda and then lie on a couch in front of the television.
The memory of the bloodshed which followed, and in which 251 Turkish citizens were killed, is perfectly encapsulated in the July 15 Memory museum located on the Asian side of Istanbul. It’s not far from the Martyrs Bridge where the traitorous soldiers had parked tanks, military trucks and placed heavy machine guns.
The July 15 Memory museum has preserved the aftermath of attempted coup in which 251 people were killed. Inside the monument, golden plaques carry the names of the civilians killed by soldiers and helicopters that rained bullets on them. There are the names of Mustafa Kocak, Necat Sayin and Niyazi Erguven among many others. Quranic verses which were played from minarets of the mosques on the night of the coup gently serenade out of a speaker.
“I remember getting goosebumps when I saw the tanks and soldiers on the TV screen that night. But I am here in the museum and personally experiencing what the people went through that night. I would be lying if I said it’s not making me emotional.”Türkiye has seen multiple coups in its history. In 1960, the military hanged the then Turkish prime minister Adnan Menderes, along with the finance and foreign ministers.
