Turkey thread: now stuffed with more authoritarianism!

[Quokkastan]

Also Putin supports Boris Johnson because his name sounds Russian. I just said it, so it must be true.

Also I totally forgot the Al Qaeda, the best and the most precious creation of CIA.

That's just what the Freemasons want you to think.

The livestream is reporting that there are aircraft striking targets in the vicinity of the General Assembly and the hospitals are overrun. So sayeth the Reddit livestream.

Erdogan says this attempt is a gift from God, because it gives him opportunity to cleanse the Army.

This is screaming false flag. Star Wars Episode 3 style intrigue.

[Olerand]

This is all very 1991 Soviet coup.

Except the radicals here are in power already.

Well, ideology wise, I think the army is closer to the USSR and Erdogan to Yelstin.

[Reformed Byzantine Empire]

RIP Pro-Coup supporters.

Yet your name is the "Reformed Byzantine Empire", smh[/quo

So what? A overthrown Turkey is still Turkey and I would hate it (no offense to Turks).

[Aarnonia]

To the coup supporters out there, I want to say that I probably hate Erdogan more than you, but all I want to say is that don't just jump on the Pro Coup bandwagon. Believe me, whatever you are imagining will happen after the coup, it won't happen, Turkey has had 3 other succesful coups and none of them, especially the 80's coup wasn't pretty. People were injustly hanged, both leftist and rightist alike was murdered, a 16 year old boy got his age changed to 18 so he could be legally executed. What I'm saying is that the coup will be really bad if it wins, maybe even worse than erdogan. Do not be fooled by false promises of Secularism and Human Rights and Democracy, they are all lies told to get and keep power.

Looks like CNN Turkey has resumed normal programming. Not sure about it tho.

It strikes me as being more similar to any one of the previous Turkish coups.

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.

No government will outright state support for a coup where a parliament building has been bombed. A successful coup would never have taken this long or been so violent.

[Pandeeria]

Wait, was the coup actually successful or not? Did the couping forces manage to take control of the government?

At the beginning, yes. Now, Erdogan seems to be winning.

But how? Doesn't the coup have the support of the bloody military? Also, why didn't they place Erdogan under arrest ASAP?

Also sounds like less of a crowd outside.

Now that isn't far fetched at all matey. Afghan War, Syrian War, Libyan War, Egyptian Uprising, etc etc.

[Geilinor]

Only part of the military and the police and intelligence agency are behind Erdogan.

[Organized States]

We're really not sure and Erdogan may have received a tip-off about the Coup and fled.

Anyone have a link to the reddit livestream??

Because the f* has the support of the police which is already on the scene and the propaganda machines are spiraling the news so no more units join up the coup

[Skappola]

Erdogen escaped on a Airbus (He was on vacation and the military didn't get to him in time), and while in his plane he called for the people of Turkey to fight back against the coup. Now the pro-coup people are being overwhelmed. Also, the whole military was never behind the coup, only the airforce and most of the army.

Egypt should come out in favor of the coup. They were after all, in the same place years ago. This is Turkey's military trying to overthrow a Muslim Brotherhood equivalent regime.

[Avrellon]

CNN Turkey now being cohosted by a man who I shall refer to from now on as "Based Sweater God."

[The 93rd Coalition]

Uh, anyone watch CNN Turk regularly? These guys don't look like actual reporters.

[Myrensis]

Oh my. Erdogan will probably get way more authoritarian.

If it werent for the coup, this wouldn't be happening.

Yes, it would have, it's been happening for years, contrary to your weird little rambling about how surely magical rainbow pixie dust democracy makes everything happy and good! Erdogan will just used the failed coup as an excuse to accelerate what he's all ready been doing for years.
