Balyoz Case
The Balyoz Case refers to a controversial legal case in Turkey that began in 2010, involving a group of military officers accused of plotting a coup against the government. The case was based on alleged documents that suggested a conspiracy to destabilize the state. Many of the accused were high-ranking officials, and the trial received significant media attention and public scrutiny.
In 2014, the Turkish Supreme Court overturned the convictions, citing a lack of credible evidence and procedural irregularities during the trial. The case has been a focal point in discussions about the independence of the judiciary and the relationship between the military and the government in Turkey, particularly under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
