“…He is referred as the first martyr in school textbooks at primary and secondary levels due to his death during a gun battle with the leader of the attempted coup in the early hours of the incident. The depiction of him as the first martyr is like the early Republican portrayal of the first martyr of the War of Independence journalist Hasan Tahsin 13 (Parmaksız 2019). Yılmaz and Ertürk (2022) also interpret Halisdemir as the imitation of Kubilay, 14 another martyr-icon of Kemalism, to create an alternative Islamic martyr-icon and build a myth upon this.…”

After the coup attempt on July 15, 2016, the Turkish state started to produce a new official history of the event as a narrative of popular resistance against a military coup for the sake of democracy. This narrative with a religious aura was supported by “democracy watch” meetings and new commemoration days, museums, and monuments across Turkey. It was based on four concepts, symbolized by the Rabia sign: one nation, one homeland, one flag, and one state. However, the use of the Rabia sign has fallen from grace recently, creating a critical gap or “glitch” in the mnemonic infrastructure. This paper offers a visual categorization of July 15 monuments across Turkey and positions them in the historiography of Turkish national monuments. Finally, Rabia monuments are analyzed as a case study to show part of the complex (trans)national narratives of the “New Turkey.”
