t Turkey and Pakistan are two such Islamic states where military forces have occupied the state’s administration for long period of time. In Turkey Army had tried to occupy the sovereignty of state while from the first day of existence of Modern Republic of Turkey, but in Pakistan Military had to wait for eleven years to occupy the sovereignty of state and General Ayub Khan implemented Martial Law in 1958. In the activities and occupation of sovereignty of state both in Pakistan and Turkey, Pakistan is superior to Turkey because whenever Military has tried to occupy state’s administration, it got success in its struggle, but in Turkey Military failed in its effort to occupy the state’s sovereignty for thrice.

On 15th July, 2016, the effort of subversion of Government’s crown is a lesson-bearing for Pakistan from several aspects. How the Military has tried to occupy the sovereignty of state. When on 15th July, 2016, at 10 pm of night Jandamery blocked the way on two pensile giant bridges of Istanbul that unite two continents of Europe an Asia, it was thinking that due to truck invasion in the city of France a day before Military is supervising the two giant pensile bridges for security issues.

The whole entire nation became disturbed by the Newscaster’s expressions of reading proclamation and public started to watch attentively the situation of Military’s occupation of state’s sovereignty live. In the meantime one among the group of military soldiers occupying the building of TRT wore civil dress and proclaimed of having new “DG” of the channel. But inspite of this, no statement of any type was given by Government and no annunciation was received about any minister, prime minister and president of Turkey. Nonetheless after the silence of two hours for the first time in the history of Turkey, president of the state were answering the questions of anchors of private TV channels and he admitted that after spending vacations when he was coming back from Marmaris to Istanbul, a bombardment was done on president Rajab Tayeb Erdogan's Marmaris residential hotel by few soldiers of special branch of military which is famous for its name of “claret red cape” and is popular among Turks but fortunately till that time president had department away for Istanbul instead of Ankara. After the failure of this attack, rebellious soldiers were awaited for president Erdogan on at the airport of Ankara, but president remained off-screen for a long time due to which many rumors were being circulated on social media.

Nonetheless these rumors were diminished when president talked to TV anchor person via mobile phone. For the first time in the World, the president whose crown was being overthrown got successful in communicating to the public via mobile phone and for a president this mobile proved a "straw for downing man". President appealed the public to come immediate on the roads to confront the rebellions military who was trying to occupy the sovereignty of the state, on hearing this, public like fire came on roads in few moments and struggled to stop the military rebellion. Perhaps rebels were not expecting the public to come on roads and to lie in front of Tanks, because before this, no one had strangled the way of Military but every time was welcomed.

Such type of love and liking cannot be seen in any other part of World. This is because politicians don’t have a close association with public. While president Erdoğan hug thousands of people every week and listen to their problems attentively.

One can’t find such example in the history of Turkey and in the same way all the political parties of country by taking their conflicts aside, passed a resolution that military can never implement Martial Law in Turkey. The action of crushing rebellion in Turkey is of great importance for Pakistani politician and public.
