Turska vojska, institucija kojoj se prema anketama u zemlji najviše vjeruje, dugo je uživala samostalnost i vršila jak politički utjecaj, zbacivši četiri izabrane vlade u zadnjih 50 godina.
The Turkish military, the most trusted institution in the country according to polls, had long enjoyed autonomy and flexed a strong political muscle, ousting four elected governments in the last 50 years.
