ARTICLE 35 OF THE TAF
INTERNAL SERVICE LAW
IN THE NATIONAL DEFENSE COMMISSION OF THE TGNA

We can say that a consensus has been reached across the country with the government and its opposition regarding the amendment of Article 35 of the Turkish Armed Forces Internal Service Law No. 211.

This article was not only used as a basis for coups by the junta, but also became an encouraging factor in the formation of coup plotters.

In its current form, “The duty of the Armed Forces is to guard and protect the Turkish homeland and the Republic of Turkey, which has been appointed by the Constitution.” this article has caused our Armed Forces to turn to internal security rather than external security, to intervene in politics, to put political powers under tutelage and to act as regime guards.
