Retired Brigadier General Adnan Tanrıverdi, President of the Justice Defenders Strategic Studies Center (ASSAM), stated that the May 27 military coup in 1960 was an indelible black mark on Turkish political life, and argued that it laid the groundwork for subsequent coups and memorandums.

It has been 56 years since the May 27, 1960 coup, which resulted in the execution of Prime Minister Adnan Menderes and two ministers. Despite the passage of time, the pain caused by the coup in social and political life remained fresh in the memory of people.

Retired Brigadier General Tanrıverdi, he said in his statement to the AA reporter;

“Turkey has defeated USA for five times since 2015,” said Retired Brigadier General Adnan Tanrıverdi, the Presidency Chief Adviser. Speaking to Yeni Şafak, Tanrıverdi listed them one by one: 1- The US supported propaganda aimed at stability in the June 7 elections. With the foresight of the people, political stability was achieved after 5 months. 2- Then the pit actions started. U.S. support has caused Turkey new trouble with the PKK's self-government nonsense. Turkey solved this problem in 6 months. 3- While Turkey purged the FETO in Turkish Armed Forces, there was an attempted coup on July 15. Also, this attempt was suppressed within 20 hours. This was the 3rd defeat to USA. 4- The USA would hand over Jarabulus to the terrorist organization PKK-PYD. Turkey noticed this and brought its troops into the area and prevented it. 5- The United States moved to remove Turkey's bases in Iraq, but Turkey successfully prevented this. And this is the 5th defeat.
