'After the military coup of September 12, 1980, Ahmet Taner Kışlalı went back to the academia, and became a full professor in 1988. He continued to give lectures on political science in Department of Communication at Ankara University, after his retirement. Starting from 1991, he had a regular column in the leftist newspaper "Cumhuriyet" with the title "Haftaya Bakış" (A View of the Week).
Kışlalı was killed on October 21, 1999 in Ankara after handling a bomb, which had been placed on his car. His death is thought to have been the work of Islamic militants.'
