Askeri müdahaleler, demokrasinin kesintiye uğramasına ve sol hareketlerin yükselmesine yol açmıştır. Sol aktivistler yoğun devlet baskısına maruz kalırken, medya bu durumu kendi ideolojik bakış açılarıyla yansıtmıştır. 12 Eylül 1980 darbesi, siyasi baskıların zirvesine ulaştığı dönemin en kritik olaylarından biri olarak tarihe geçmiştir. Zeki Kartal’ın hikayesinde, bu dönemde sol hareketlere katılan bireylerin deneyimlerini, Türkiye'den Almanya'ya göç süreçlerini ve diasporadaki politik faaliyetlerini ele alınmıştır. Kartal’ın tanıklıkları, gençlerin politikleşmesini ve devletin baskıcı politikalarına tepkilerini ortaya koymuştur. 1980 öncesi ve sonrası Türkiye'nin sosyal ve siyasi dinamiklerine ışık tutmaktadır.Between 1968 and 1980, Turkey's political and social landscape was characterized by deep conflict and polarization. Military interventions interrupted democracy and led to the rise of leftist movements. Leftist activists faced intense state repression and the media reflected this situation through their ideological perspectives. The September 12, 1980 coup was a critical event in this period when political repression reached its peak. Zeki Kartal's story sheds light on the experiences of individuals involved in leftist movements, their migration from Turkey to Germany and their political activities in the diaspora. Kartal's testimony revealed how young people became politicized and how they reacted to repressive state policies. It sheds light on the social and political dynamics of Turkey before and after 1980.28 pagesTurkishCC BY-NC-ND (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 International)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/TürkiyeSiyasi tarihAskeri müdahaleSol hareketlerZeki Kartal12 Eylül DarbesiAlmanyaGöçDiasporaTurkeyPolitical historyMilitaryLeftist movementsSeptember 12 CoupGermanyMigrationStudent ProjectSPB5160
