Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has give a response to the Parliament’s Coups and Military Memorandums Inquiry Commission.“I and my friend paid a heavy price during the Feb. 28 [process of 1997],” Erdoğan said. The era of coups is now over, Erdoğan said, adding that coup plotters had attempted to engineer society.
