Death penalty may be restored
The crowd shouts to Erdoğan that it wants the death penalty for coup plotters – the president responds by saying “these demands may be discussed in parliament”, AzVision.az reports citing TheGuardian.
Turkey’s prime minister has already hinted that the country may reinstate the death penalty, fully abolished in 2004 under Erdoğan’s administration, may be restored.

Erdoğan pauses as minarets sound in the background. Then he declares: “the army is ours, not that of the parallel structure – I am the chief commander!”

He promises he will “clean out” coup supporters from the military and government.

Then Erdoğan again brings up Gülen, saying that the US should cooperate with his demands and that Turkey has extradited terrorists demanded by American officials. Once this “head of terror” is removed from exile, Erdoğan says, Turkey can have true change.
