Presidential Speeches (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) and Museum Narration (Ankara July 15 Museum)

The dataset consists of presidential speeches explicitly referencing the July 15 coup attempt from 2016 to 2025, delivered by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, head of the Justice and Development Party. The speeches were collected from the presidential website (https://www.tccb.gov.tr/). Another component of the dataset consists of the scripts of videos narrated in the Ankara July 15 Museum, which were recorded on-site by the author in July 2024. These museum scripts were also cross-checked against versions transcribed and published in other authors’ works. (For an example of how museum scripts are collected and used in other research, see: Özkan, Özge. “‘New Turkey’s’ Memory Regime: July 15th as a Memory Figure.” Master’s thesis, Middle East Technical University (Turkey), 2023.)
