The symbolic date of the vote is no accident: the government has tried to generate support by portraying the vote as a 'reckoning' with Turkey's dark past, in which military intervention has often triggered periods of oppression and torture by the state.
Simbolični datum glasovanja nije slučajan: vlada je pokušala dobiti potporu prikazivanjem glasovanja kao 'obračuna' s mračnom prošlošću Turske, u kojoj su vojnim intervencijama često počinjala razdoblja ugnjetavanja i mučenja od strane države.
