Summary/Abstract: Military coups (coup d’état) have an important position in Turkish political history. Many military coups or coup attempts have been made from the proclamation of the republic until today and each government or candidate for government has created written texts or oral texts so as to explain their objectives i.e. why they are devoted. Those political texts offer an important resource for researches in all fields. Military coup texts are not randomly prepared ones; rather, they are generated with a rational and logical reasoning. The prepared texts require appropriate editing according to the target audience and conditions of those specific periods for they reach to a large number of people via mass media. Thus, approval of the target audience is taken into consideration. Political texts as well as other texts have its characteristic features and they are influenced by the periods in which they are created.
