Pristalice tog procesa ističu historijsku tradiciju vojnih udara u Turskoj i vjeruju da je Partija pravde i razvoja (AKP) prijetilo zbacivanje s vlasti, a demokratija u Turskoj ponovo narušena još jednom vojnom intervencijom.
Supporters of the process point to Turkey's historic tradition of military coups and believe the Justice and Development Party (AKP) was to be overthrown, upending Turkish democracy with yet another military intervention.
