Turkey Political Violence and Demonstration Events Weekly Aggregates

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Turkey. The data is structured into country-year and country-month summaries to facilitate longitudinal analysis of conflict trends through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Tracking the frequency of 'political violence' events over multiple years in Turkey
• Comparing 'demonstration' counts between different months to identify seasonal trends
• Statistical modeling of 'civilian-targeting' incident rates

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency
• Categorized by specific event types including civilian-targeting and demonstrations
• Produced by ACLED, a primary authority in conflict event monitoring

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents geospatial mapping of specific incidents
• Requires external registration for granular event-level data
• Lack of individual event descriptions or actor metadata
