Deli_kizin, I normally don´t watch TV so much but you gave me the idea to see Bu Kalp Seni Unutur mu?. I couldn´t quite make it to the end but at least it made me remember my early teenager days.
I remember the day when the coup D´Etat happened. I was 13 years old then and had had my first date with a girl the night before. I was very happy and filled with hopel. Early next morning, my father woke me up saying the army had declared a coup D´Etat and that there would be a curfew that day. Well, the curfew was mostly for grown ups and we got out beginning from the first day. We saw all the tanks that had ruined the main roads, the soldiers in the streets and everything.
Turkish people supported the move, they crowded the places where Evren gave a speech and voted for the referandum that would change the constititution and confirm Kenan Evren as the legitimate president of the country with a record high voter participation and a record high support for the coup D´Etat. This was quite saddening for both the left and right militants. After having sacrificed everything for the sake of the country, they saw the crowds applaud their downfall, support the tortures they were subjected to and endorse the evaporation of their comrades.
In those days, everyone was supporting the new regime and no one was moving a finger to protest it. It is only now, after a few decades that we see TV shows bold enough to cover the topic.
Like said in Spartacus the movie, Rome is The mob so are Istanbul and entire Turkey...
