Possible coup in Turkey

[brycejones]

Erdogan is live on TV via facetime ... He called citizens to the streets .. It will get bloody

If you have to get on facetime to reach out to the populace you are already in a tough spot.

It's over.

 

[Sonikku]

Did the government come out on top?

 

[Oric]

We are fucked either way ...

I think today is best summed up as Turkey appears to have fallen into chaos.
Violence is expected to follow.

Turkey is an interesting and exciting country to be her citizen. We never get bored

Stay safe. Hopefully things don't get TOO exciting.

From one '99er to another, stay safe man.

Damn I was so close to bein a 99'er. Lurked for a while at first too.

We have had 3 coups (60, 71, 80) while we were members. Nothing happens

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply.

So reading between the lines . . .

The next two coups will be in 2027 and 2036. (Joke!).

I wish you all the best, have a safe time!

Wrong place and time for this.

There's a lot of that going around this year.

Trump vs. Hillary isn't as bad as a coup...

While BBC has a strong bias on opinion, I find that their reporting of news to be as accurate as any news outlet, unlike mainstream US publications.

Right now they are saying that the army's coup is in control. This complements the link by SOFTengCOMPelec.

Mosques are reported to be calling men into the streets to rebuff the coup

 

[Oric]

civilian cars honking in the middle of the night are passing by dozens in the main streets. Never in Turkish history, the Army has opened fire on civilians (to finish a coup), they will back down ...

That's not a good idea.

 

[Jaskalas]

...they will back down ...

Or there will be civil war.

True, but we're still fucked either way.

But hey, at least we don't have to worry about large caliber rounds passing through our homes.

At the moment....

Hopefully it stays as bloodless as possible.

Yes ...
