Description Is the traditional civil-military relations changing in Turkey? Does Turkey have a new generation of political elites equipped with the capacity of coup-proofing? In the past, the army easily ousted political elites with no coup-proofing ability. However, today, the government can react to the military intervention; full generals are arrested by civil courts. The government’s reaction to the army’s 2007 memorandum and the ensuing investigations of officers by prosecutors proves that political elites have gained the needed instruments of coup-proofing. In line with recent developments, the major contribution of the article is to demonstrate the complex nature of coup-proofing in Turkey, an overlooked aspect of civil-military relations.
