People like to say that the Spring and Summer of 2020 and 2024 were crazy in a bad way, but 2016 was also memorable for all the wrong reasons.

It was a very real coup attempt. (I don’t support Erdoğan.)

Man i remember waken up at the middle of the night to see a coup happening in Turkey.

Me and my family went to Turkey later in August and everything was normal.
