The European Union (EU) should welcome the fact that the military coup attempt in Turkey was prevented, TRT Haber news channel quoted Turkey’s Minister for EU Affairs Omer Celik as saying August 3.

Celik said the fact that Turkish people supported democracy demonstrates that the country’s population has a concept of healthy democracy.

The minister also noted that the steps, to protect democracy in Turkey, are being taken within the law.

Celik added that the military coup attempt aimed at weakening Turkey’s development.

He thinks that the threat of military coup in Turkey has not passed yet.
