[Quokkastan]

No, he's Erdogan's secret identity.
The Pink Knight!

*cue Hans Zimmer music*

BWWAAAAAAAAAMM!

[Aarnonia]

Literally nothing is blocked. Where are you guys getting this from?

Are you in Ankara?
Apparently its blocked in Ankara.

Yes, I am in Ankara

Let's hope for a quick resolution to the crisis.

Literally what every leader says but doesn't mean it

Even Greece said that... ROFL

[Novorobo]

So much for the notion that Turkey is one of the "good" predominantly-Muslim countries, huh?

It sounds like it's pretty quiet there. I've heard that the military is essentially in control. Is that true?

[Calimera II]

Protesters seem to have captured a tank! It's on the reddit stream somebody just posted.

[Wolfenium]

Aaaand just like that, the coup's starting to fail.

Not that surprised. The US pretty much stood beside Erdogan on this one, for better or worse.

any updates
im eager

FOX Turkey reports that one of the bombing helicopters (of the two we know of) landed at Turkish Armed Forces Headquarters. The lights of the building went off for a moment, now back on

Streets are empty around there, and at least one lawmaker may have been killed.


Erdogan is about to speak to the press.

Is there any way we can watch?

[Calimera II]

What was his name? I am really interested!!

Hold on, let me see if they uploaded his audio file yet. He had an accent that was not Turkish though. Sounded Hispanic of some kind (didn't seem Latino, though).

Thank you!

To be fair it's all erdogan's fault.
He's very persuasive, and, he's a wannabe Sultan.
He's a symbol of everything wrong with Turkey.

Please stay safe, by the way.

I was typing a response and literally heard shooting and freaked out and stopped. That should be a good enough answer.

[Umars memeistan]

Pro coup supporters are being armed by the military with surplus weapons.

Get the War Thunder and WoT players in there, I'm sure nothing will go wrong!

[Kalifati Arab shqiptar]

Do we need more proof that the US supports ISIS?
