It does look like they are gaining control .

If it is a bloodless coup, and doesn't turn into a civil war, it'd be okay.

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.

Aragorn11: Reports coming in of a possible coup in Turkey.

Bosphorous bridge closed by Army with reports of shots fired and low flying aircraft reported above Istanbul.


A lot of former class mates at home will be very worried about their grandparents and cousins in Turkey. sad flower

Erdogan is dangerous and should be removed, but I would have preferred if they just voted him out of his job. uh oh
