Abstract
ABSTRACT During the AKP rule the military was deprived of its traditional dominant positions and levers in the social and political domains. Being deprived of its institutional autonomy, the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) went through transformations, in which the institutional identity and value system of the military were scrutinized. The article aims to reveal the transformation trends of the TAF’s identity and to represent the narratives and manifestations of ‘creeping Islamization’ in the military, particularly after the failed coup of 2016. The article argues that the process of de-secularization and transformation of the institutional identity of TAF has been intensified because of the deprivation of its autonomy in the political system.
