I don't understand? It sounded like it was starting to settle down with people being arrested and the helicopter being shot down but now the parliament has been bombed????
They are saying that the army refused in the end to open fire against people... so people took over...
I feel for them.

also obama is not the dalai lama. turkey is an important partner for the fight against isis and he has to make sure whoever gets power will still collaborate. this is power politics, not a debate about morals
But the people are with Erdogan, the majority of Turkey support his ideals. You're suggesting an invasion.
Obama can't push for democracy whilst supporting the coup. Even if getting rid of the government is what the US wants, they have to wish for it silently. It's 2016, the military can't just decide to get rid of an elected government.

Asjm;
And there's still standoffs in the streets. Bridges and airports still have tanks.
The pictures of the people just barging passed the military. The people aren't listening
Try living in Turkey or Saudi Arabia for sometime. Maybe your opinion might drastically change!
