July 15 Coup Attempt Şeyhmus Demir

Şeyhmus Demir

Şeyhmus Demir became a martyr on the Bosphorus Bridge during the treacherous coup attempt by FETÖ traitors on July 15th.

Originally from Mardin, 28-year-old Şeyhmus was working as a courier in Cihangir and lived in İstanbul’s district Üsküdar. After hearing about the coup attempt on July 15th, he went out with his friends upon President Erdoğan’s call and tried to resist the putschists.

Martyr Şeyhmus Demir was buried in his hometown of Mardin without being able to fulfill his biggest dream, which was to buy his own house someday.
