The Turkey Protest, Repression, and Pro-Government Rally Dataset (TPRPGRD), 2013-2016

We introduce an original event dataset on protests, repression, and pro-government rallies in Turkey under the rule of the Justice and Development Party during a period in which authoritarianism has increased in intensity. Using protest event analysis, this dataset includes actions of governments, pro-government actors, and dissidents hand-coded from two newspapers between 1 January 2013, and 31 December 2016. The dataset enables researchers to study pro-government rallies (PGRs), anti-government protests, and state actions during a heightened period of contention in Turkey. To use the dataset, cite the following article: Kahvecioğlu A., T. Demirel-Pegg & İ̇. Aytürk. (2022). Introducing the Turkey Protest, Repression, and Pro-Government Rally Dataset (TPRPGRD).
