The 9th anniversary of the July 15 coup attempt dominated Turkish media, with the focus intensifying throughout the day. Morning reports detailed new anti-FETÖ operations, including arrests for exam irregularities and asset seizures from businesses like Hakmar and Tatbak. Concurrently, municipal corruption investigations, a prominent theme from prior days, continued, highlighted by a "driver operation" in Istanbul and a courthouse bribery scandal. As the day progressed, official commemorations took center stage. President Erdoğan and ministers emphasized national unity and a "terror-free Turkey" in their messages, reflecting on Fethullahism’s legacy. By evening, Erdoğan’s statements underscored the persistent nature of the anti-FETÖ campaign, declaring the fight would continue and those responsible would "pay the price," reinforcing the government's long-term resolve.
