In this edition of "Access: Middle East", CNBC's Hadley Gamble speaks to the deputy prime minister of Turkey, Mehmet Şimşek.
Şimşek discusses the recent military coup and how the Turkish government did not see it coming. He also talks about the likelihood of the country reinstating the death penalty due to public demand. However, Turkey's desire to remain committed to Europe and other key allies in the west may stay its hand.
