Seems to me that this Coup will be a failure, unfortunately.

Yeah, and it's scary that this is not commanded by the head of the military. It's like a guerilla, sort of.

So, according to al-Jazeera the First Army and the Navy, along with the parliamentary opposition oppose the coup. Things ain't going well for the plotters.

Unless, you know, one of them gets elected and than follows the constitution. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean they're an illegitimate leader. This case is different, because its literally in their comstitution that the military can coup when the government becomes Islamist.

I know I spoke too rashly.

The first one seems to be of them firing at loyalist police. (I think, could of swore I saw police lights at the area being attacked)

Second, crossfire maybe. A part of me doubts ever side is intentionally shooting at unarmed people. I would wager some loyalist and coup forces got in a scuffle.

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

It is hopeful that they will win, because if Erdogan comes back then there is no other chance to take back the country from the dictator.

This is wonderful. Now this is the coup I've been waiting for. Word is that Turkey's military has full control so it has succeeded.

Wait, police attacked army SOF and took 17 casualties, or police SOF were attacked and 17 were killed?

It was led by Cemal Gürsel, head of the army. Tbh that guy seemed decent, he actually developed the country after he took over.

On Wikipedia it says that he was forced into retirement and only got involved in the coup after it occurred.

If Erdogan is the target, why did they put their plans in motion when he was out on holiday? Or is that kind of information even available?
