The Balgat massacre (Turkish: Balgat katliamı) of 10 August 1978 was a mass shooting targeting 3 coffeehouses known with their left-wing customers in Çankaya, Ankara in which 5 died and 14 were injured.
The massacre was ordered by Abdullah Çatlı.
2 people, Mustafa Pehlivanoğlu and İsa Armağan, were arrested related to the incident.
Pehlivanoğlu was executed on 7 October 1980 and Armağan escaped from prison.
According to some idealist sources, Mustafa Pehlivanoğlu was a victim of false accusation and had no connections to the incident.
