Just as it did throughout 2009, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) became the center of a series of allegations by many circles that it turned into a focal point of some activities that are not compatible with the laws and practices of a democratic country governed by the rule of law on the first few days of 2010. While the media and political circles gave voice to their detailed opinions about the allegations, almost no report has been available as to what the public thinks about the claims and the alleged rising tension between the military and other institutions of the state. The main objective of this survey is to examine the approach of the public to allegations and criticism against the military and reveal the public’s current perception of the TSK. The poll was conducted from January 3 to 8, 2010 by telephone among a random national sampling of 1614 adults residing in cities, towns and villages. The margin of error for the overall poll is 2,5 percentage points, at a 95 percent confidence level.
