These pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_coup_in_Turkey%2C_1960 and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_coup_of_1960 should be merged. Furthermore, their language should be improved. I dont know how to add these "suggestion tags".L@7-r

Calling it a kangaroo court seems to be opinion. Also there should be factual discussion of why the coup was stagged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.243.134.162 (talk) 05:39, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The articles lacks citations from scholarly sources. This shows already in the lead where a website is supposed to be a reference for all what we need to know about Turkey. Extraordinary claims requite extraordinary evidence.

The content in the article goes along AKP lines. The guardian role of the military in Kemalism is neither mentioned nor discussed. The dubious policies of the former government, including the Istanbul pogrom, allowed the military to intervene. -- Zz (talk) 14:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The military has no official guardian role and was intended by Kemal to stay neutral. It tried time justify itself by claiming one but this was illegitimate. The actual reason the military officers intervened was not because they were liberal guardians of secularism, but because the Democratic Party government (which had been governing just fine for a decade) was considering rapproachment with the Soviet Union, and the officers involved were a bunch of US trained operatives who were planted in the country to prevent any such occurrence. There has to be a mention of this, it can't just be ignorant western islamophobic apologetics for military dictatorship, as you seem to desire.108.131.13.72 (talk) 14:32, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the politicians were charged with 'violating' the constitution. If anyone abrogated it, I'd have thought it was the military coup leaders.213.127.210.95 (talk) 13:08, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've failed this for coverage and supporting materials, mostly because the "Background" section feels like it's lacking detail. Was the coup really just a radio announcement by Col. Türkeş and a press conference from Gen. Gürsel? What happened to the existing government? Was there any substantive change in politics or policy from the new government, and did it have an effect on relations with other countries? — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 00:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
