When a democratic country elects a head of state who does not observe the constitution, how do you force him out of power without having to wait for the people to vote him out at the next election?
back in old turkey Turkish army was considered as guardian of consititution ! army was charge by ataturk to protect republicism, secularism and democracy of the state. staging a coupe to perform this duty is written in constitution and there is a legal protocol which allow the army to take control of the state legally. the chief of general staff is responsible for this and by law he's action and in-action evaluated and if he found wanting in protecting the republicism, secularism and democracy of the state then he stand trail in military court to answer for his failure.
the protocol is something like this !
1) make a report whether the coup is necessary. if its done when it is not needed then everyone involved will answer in military court !
2) give a warning ake military memorandum if politicions keep violating the constituion
3) make the coup. after the warning ignored, by law turkish army can seize the control of the state !
4) make a elit cabinets from universit professors and prominent members of country and find why system failed and find solution for it. army have only 1 year do to this.
5) put in the new constituion in referandum !
example of this happened before in 1960s when prime minister adnan mandenez was losing the elections the imbalance in constitution gave more power to government then to parliment. mandenez used this to size power the jailed journalist ordered police which was under interior ministery to open fire on protestors by live ammo created what is called the investigation committee filled up by his friend who weren't lawyer nor judges then use the committee to put people in jail and confiscated their property completely bypassing the judiciary. finally in the last attempt to win elections he promise to islamist that he will return caliphate and return muslim call to pray from turkish to back to arabic ! by this point mandenez threatened the republicism, secularism and democracy of the state. with the 1960's coup army put an end to his police state regime later when judges took back their old power the sentence him to death. in new constitution the power of government reduce and power of parliament increased and some right were taken away from interior minister and given back to people including right to assembly !
after this coup people give support and celebrate and give the title of protectors of democracy to the army to end the police state and return the republic to democracy you can watch the video for more footage !
