July 15 Coup Attempt Ahmet Özsoy

Ahmet Özsoy

Gülenist traitors made a move towards the TÜRKSAT campus located in Ankara, to stop the television broadcasts. However, Ahmet Özsoy who was on duty at TÜRKSAT, reversed the plots of the putschists. Ahmet played a key role in repelling the coup, and was martyred by the machine-gun of a traitor.

He closed the road to TÜRKSAT

Ahmet was 49 years old and was in charge of the TÜRKSAT facilities. He took his place in history during the malicious attempt. Ahmet had heard that TRT was captured and so he closed the road to TÜRKSAT, at the Konya turnoff ,with 2 diggers and a fire truck. Putschists reached TÜRKSAT with a helicopter and asked all broadcasts except for TRT to be shut down; however, the experienced team stalled it off for one hour. Putschists evacuated the building and damaged the big satellite dish after they found out that they were being stalled, yet, they could still not stop the broadcasts.

At around 01:55, Ahmet and his team went back to the facility and were then raked by the traitor’s machine guns, in front of the building. Ahmet was martyred with his friend Ali Karslı in the car.

Ahmet was a father of two, aged 24 and 25. He was buried in Ankara on July 17th.

Martyr Ahmet Özsoy’s name was given to two middle schools in Denizli and Afyonkarahisar, an Anatolian imam hatip high school in Keçiören, Ankara and an imam hatip middle school in Aliağa, İzmir.
