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.
Simboličan datum održavanja referenduma nije slučajnost: vlada je pokušala da pridobije podršku predstavljanjem glasanja kao 'obračuna' sa mračnom prošlošću Turske, u kojoj je vojna intervencija često donosila periode ugnjetavanja i torture od strane države.
