Turkish President Erdogan Accuses Israel of Attempting to Orchestrate Repeated Coups in Turkey
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - Turkish President Erdogan told the Parliament in Ankara on Wednesday that Israel had repeatedly attempted to topple the Turkish government. "Don't forget the military coup on September 12, 1980, which happened right after the massive demonstration for Jerusalem in Konya. Don't forget the coup on February 28, 1997, which took place right after the Jerusalem Night event in Ankara. Don't forget that the failed coup attempt in 2016 was carried out by Zionist operators," Erdogan said. Erdogan noted there was no difference between Hamas and Turkish guerrillas that operated during the Turkish War of Independence under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. A propaganda film was screened showing Turkey's actions in support of the Palestinians, leading to the audience chanting "Death to Israel."
