July 15 Coup Attempt Hakan Ünver

Hakan Ünver

Hakan Ünver, 37 year old martyr who was killed in an attack on the Ankara Provincial Police Headquarters during the traitorous coup attempt, asked and prayed to his loved ones that he be a martyr his whole life.

Ünver went out into the streets after the call of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on the night of July 15th and did not let his wife know, so that she wouldn’t stop him. He met with his friends and headed to the Ankara Provincial Police Headquarters. Hakan Ünver resisted against the coup soldiers with a huge crowd once he arrived at the Police Headquarters. He was shot in an F-16’s crossfire around 01:00 AM. Ünver was martyred on the scene.

Ayşenur Ünver kept calling her husband after leaving the house. A stranger answered the phone at 02:00 AM and said that Ünver had been injured by falling while running. Ayşenur Ünver couldn’t go to the scene as she could not leave her children alone. She called her brothers and asked them to reach her husband. Ayşenur Ünver received the devastating news in the morning.

Hakan Ünver was buried in the Ankara Karşıyaka Graveyard on Monday, July 18th.

“He always smiled”

Martyr Hakan Ünver was known as a helpful and hospitable person by the people who knew him. He had asked everybody to pray for him to be a martyr. Unver who fulfilled his dream of Hajj and Umrah at a young age had always missed the holy lands. Ayşenur Ünver describes her husband, “He was not from this world. He always smiled to everyone.” She said he was smiling when he was martyred as well.
