I hope the coup is successful, Erdogan is a very dodgy leader and his values and politics are very one-sided, I don't like to see any military in charge of a country but for the time being I think this is necessary in the short time for Turkey and hopefully the military will take on the evil that is Isis.

Well apparently they have stated that the freedom of turkish citizens is guaranteed by use of a peace council regardless of religion race or language.

If they stopped trying to wipe out the Kurds, who are the main group fighting ISIS, they would do good. People don't seem to realise what the Kurds are doing to keep ISIS from gaining more control.

Thankfully so far no reports of bloodletting. Hopefully that stays the same.
