July 15 Coup Attempt Aydın Çopur

Aydın Çopur

Aydın Çopur, obliged to leave the Turkish Military Academy in 2009, said, “If I don’t do anything for my country and my flag today, then when?” and was martyred by bullets from the putschists. He knew he wanted to become a soldier at age eight.

“If not today, then when?”

Twenty-six year-old Çopur was in Ankara visiting his sister. Going out with his cousin on the night of July 15th, they went out to Beştepe after President Erdoğan’s call and stood against the putschist traitors. He called his father at midnight. His father wanted him to get back home immediately but Aydın replied, “Father, if I don’t do anything for my country and flag today, then when? Give me your blessings in this.”

Having to drop out of the military school with the pressures of Gülenist traitors, Çopur was obliged to pay a fine of 75,000 TL after dropping out in 2009. Later he graduated from Industrial Engineering at Kırıkkale University.

Aydın Çopur was buried in Çankırı on July 16th.

The name Martyr Aydın Çopur was given to a conference hall at the University in Kırıkkale and an imam hatip high school.
