Civil Academic Institutions Platform (DAKAP) DECLARATION AGAINST COUP The treacherous attempt of a group who used the armed forces of Turkey against the people has been hindered by the insightful and powerful resistance of the public. The plotters’ obvious treason lies beneath the fact that the forces they used were entrusted to them by the same people they attacked. As civil academic institutions of Turkey, we stand with our people who opposed to this vile treason and preserved their dignity and honor in the face of this attempt. We reject every ideological stance which nourishes and ignores the pro-coup mindset and we stand with the chosen representatives of our national will. As of now, it is vital to operate the legal process as quick as possible in order for all domestic and foreign supporters of this coup and coup-related structures to face justice and pay the price of their crimes. In addition, in order to make sure that these kind of perilous organizations and attempts will not be founded, actualized and operated again, legal and administrative precautions should be taken immediately. We express our deepest condolences to our martyrs who poured onto streets and gave their lives against these enemies of humanity who recognize no values and legal rules. We also wish for the wellbeing and quick recovery of people who have been wounded during the armed conflict in the streets. We hope that our country and people will not have to pay another severe price and will eventually reach a peaceful environment. As the Civil Academic Institutions named and undersigned below, we will continue serving our country and people with our scientific activities, and we will do this with the sole purpose of contributing to foundation of welfare, development, justice, freedom, law and peace in Turkey. We respectfully announce this declaration to the public. • • • • • • • • • • • • • İlmi Etüdler Derneği (İLEM) Politik, Ekonomik ve Sosyal Araştırmalar Merkezi (PESA) Ankara Siyasal ve Ekonomik Araştırmalar Merkezi (ASEM) Ekonomik ve Sosyal Araştırmalar Merkezi (ESAM) Siyaset, Ekonomi ve Toplum Araştırmaları Vakfı (SETA) Bilgi İletişim Kültür Araştırma Derneği (BİLKAD) Bilgi Yolu Eğitim Kültür Ve Sosyal Araştırmalar Merkezi (BİLSAM) Bilim ve Sanat Vakfı (BİSAV) Kadim Akademi Derneği Selçuklu Akademik Düşünce ve Araştırma Merkezi (SADAM) stanbul Araştırma ve Eğitim Vakfı (İSAR) Uluslararası Teknolojik, Ekonomik ve Sosyal Araştırmalar Vakfı (UTESAV) Konya İktisadi Toplumsal Araştırma Derneği (KİTAD) 1 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • İlim Kültür Düşünce Araştırma Medeniyet Derneği (İKDAM) Eğitim Kültür İlim Medeniyet Derneği (EKİM-DER) Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi Vakfı İlmi Araştırmalar Merkezi (İLAM) Değerler Eğitimi Merkezi (DEM) İnsan Vakfı Eğitim Merkezi (İVEM) Yaygın Eğitim ve Kültür Derneği Din Eğitimi Akademisi (DEA) İhsan Vakfı Teknik Elemanlar Derneği (TEKDER) Üniversite Yöneticileri Derneği (ÜNYÖNDER) Marmara Üniversitesi Mezun Mensuplar Derneği (MÜMDER Akademi) İlim Kültür ve Eğitim Vakfı (İKEV Akademi) Dârul Ulûm İslami İlimler Eğitim Araştırma Derneği Hür Akademisyenler Derneği (HAKAD) İlim Sanat Tarih Edebiyat Vakfı (İSTEV) Klasik Düşünce Okulu (KDO) Üniversite Öğretim Elemanları Dayanışma Derneği (ÜNDER) Ankara Düşünce ve Araştırma Merkezi Bilgi Kültür Gençlik Kulübü Derneği (BİLGİKÜLTÜR) 2
