"I would die, I would kill but I would not give that gun"

TIME : 22:55 LOCATION : Gümüşhane

On the night of July 15, citizens and military stood together and acted in unison in Gümüşhane. Mayor, Governor, Provincial Police Chief and Gendarmerie Commander of Gümüşhane came together and collaborated to prevent any problem in the city. People of Gümüşhane took to the streets upon the call of President Erdogan and kept democracy watch until the early hours in the morning. They chanted slogans in support of democracy in front of the municipal building.

It was found out that in response to order “Put your weapons down” of 3 high level enforcement officers who supported the coup attempt, police officers gave the answer “I would die, I would kill but I would not give the gun” in Kelkit in Gümüşhane. Within the scope of the investigation carried out after the coup attempt, several police officers including the former Provincial Police Chief of Gümüşhane, Ahmet Can were arrested on charges of being member of FETO.
