Over 120,000 people have visited the July 15 Democracy Museum in the capital Ankara since its inauguration two years ago by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The courageous individuals who successfully thwarted the coup attempt, including the 251 martyrs who sacrificed their lives, are also hailed as the heroes.
Recep Kara suffered from amnesia briefly, but today, his memories of the July 15, 2016 coup attempt are as fresh as ever. Kara is among hundreds injured.
