Yesterday marked the 13th anniversary of the unarmed coup d’état staged by the military on Feb. 28, 1997. The Feb. 28 postmodern coup, during which the military overthrew the coalition government led by Necmettin Erbakan of the now-defunct Welfare Party (RP), is important for one to understand what is going on in Turkey today because many current developments stand as a reflection of the Feb. 28 period.
