Four years on, there are as many question marks on the attempted coup in July 2016 as before. But its consequences are clear enough to analyze the nature of the ground-breaking ecent that changed Turkey - possibly forever. Are Gulenists solley to blame, or was it a hybrid coup? Why do we know so little on what took place that night and the day after? Why was the parliamentary commission report not made public? Why is it fair to talk about two consecutive putsches? Where did the opposition started to fail in the aftermath of it? Aykan Erdemir, a former CHP deputy and currently a Senior Director of Turkey Program with the Foundation of Defence of Democracies, discusses the issue with Yavuz Baydar, the Editor in Chief of Ahval.
