Özet:

The modernism-based 20th century politics which has been affecting the communities for long periods of time uncontrollably, has turned that communities into risk societies in the 21st century. And it has been one of the major problems of the goverments to control and monitor the social outbursts and movements in those risk societies. In this work; through the the example of the coup attempt of July 15th which gained momentum and turned out to be a major risk as a result of the public-detached intervention of the army, having defined itself as the guard of the modern revolutions in the 20th century, and brought about by the Fethullah Gulen Terror Organisation by getting organised via WhatsApp application, it is aimed to put forward the features of the statements uttered by the government in the name of social control. The speech, made during the coup attempt by the president, the head of the government, on FaceTime and by the prime minister on phone by getting connected to live broadcasts at NTV, CNN Türk and A Haber channels, is studied with the method of Foucault’s discourse analysis and the features of uttered statements are put in an order. As a result, it is seen that discourses are structured with the frames of smearing counterparts, democracy, charging with traitor and terrorism, rule of law, attractiveness of fear, unity and solidarity and punisment themes.
