Intense security measures were taken in Aydın on the night of July 15 as soon as the coup attempt was heard. The governorship built barricades in front of governor’s residence and police department. Since the soldiers in the city were not in collaboration with coup plotters, no troops left Aydın Garrison Command. However, it was found out that coup plotters in 11th Commando Brigade and 11th Infantry Brigade in Söke district of Aydın tried to go to Ankara to support their proponents. Coup plotters were stopped by people on the road of Çardak Airport. The aircrafts that would take a group of coup plotters who arrived at the airport to Ankara could not land due to the measures taken. Central Commander Colonel Ziver İnce was arrested after the coup attempt.
