Timeline of Turkey’s Current State of Emergency

The bombing in Suruç, Urfa which took place on the 19th of July, has seemingly sparked an as-of-yet undeclared state of emergency in Turkey, which is quite unprecedented, save for the 1980 Military Coup d’Etat and the years of repression that followed it. This is the reason we start the timeline with the Suruç Bombing; nevertheless it should be noted that this state of emergency has its true beginnings etched before this violent incident and it has deep implications. We hope to lay bare the facts concerning this state of emergency, its trajectory and outcomes here in this timeline. We hope to keep this timeline updated as long as we can.
