Really? Germany and France are both giving arms and supplies to the countries that we all know that support ISIS. Where did ISIS find all those fancy, brand new Europeans weapons?

Erdogan is the elected leader , even if he acts likes a middle age king , he is still the leader. You don't shoot your boss if you dislike him.

You vote him out of office.

Turkey's state agency Anadolu reports that the army's jets are flying over the capital Ankara to "neutralise" helicopters being used by those behind the coup.

Anadolu names the group "Feto", which is what Turkey's government calls the Hizment movement run by the cleric Fetullah Gulen.

From BBC. Quotes a twitter post or something which calls it "FETO terrorist group".
Warning! This poster has:

That would be true, if by reforms you mean cracking down even harder.
