Üniversitelerarası Kurul olarak milletimizin iradesine ve demokrasimize karşı yapılan bu çirkin

ve kabul edilemez girişimi şiddetle kınıyoruz. Özgürlüğün sesi olan üniversitelerin bu durumu

kabul etmesi mümkün değildir. Bunu yapanlar milletimize hesap verecektir. Tüm

üniversitelerimizi, millet iradesine, demokrasimize ve ilkemize karşı yapılmak istenen bu

kabul edilemez girişime karşı çıkmaya, vatanımıza, bayrağımıza ve yarınlarımıza sahip

çıkmaya davet ediyoruz.

Kamuoyuna saygıyla duyurulur.

Üniversitelerarası Kurul Başkanlığı

Turkish Interuniversity Board (ÜAK) strongly condemns the recent coup attempt to

overthrow the democratically elected and legitimate Government of Turkey. Serving as an

active voice of freedom and democracy, all our universities stand against this unacceptable

and shameful attempt against our national will and our parliamentary democracy, the rule of

law and freedom. Remembering the devastation in our recent history caused by the previous

coups, we also invite all academics and students in the world to stand against this attempt.

Turkish Interuniversity Board (ÜAK)

The Inter-University Board is composed of two persons from each Turkish university, i.e., the rector and one

member elected by the Senate of the university. The main duties are to co-ordinate and evaluate teaching,

research and publication activities; to propose measures concerning academic staff; and to establish rules and

regulations regarding doctoral work and granting of academic titles and degrees. (www.uak.gov.tr)
