Just like the US deserves whatever fate befalls our asses, considering our interventionist policies are the reason radical Islamist terrorism exists in the first place.

Oh wait. You wouldn't see it that way, would you?

Aren't most militants either pro-Erdogan or pro-Gül though? What if this just means he gets back.

They better watch their own asses this time and pay attention to improving standards of life of black people in their own country instead stirring **** in the Middle East once again.

Sorry but NO. Why do lives have to be lost? I have friends in Istanbul and Yalova who are on a vacation rn and I don't want any harm to them.

If you think they should die for because of their ideology than what makes you any better than other terrorists?

i can't think of a single damn revolution that happened without lives lost.

Did we debate and sip tea during the American Revolution?

Did the French Revolution involve baking croissants and asking Marie Antoinette to kindly remove her head?

Justice and freedoms always have a cost.

The people choosed Erdogan. Army has no right to take him down, not in this way. I am not an Erdogan supporter at all, but this isnt the way to things to happen.

The US is not the cause for Islamic extremism. The US is not forcing people to establish theocracies. They choose that themselves.

Military governments never worked, according to what history has teached. They're ruining a beautiful country that is ready to become part of the Western world, I don't understand why certain small but powerful groups of people don't want progress.

So the Erdogan stans are faking the widespread support for him now?

Just heard it on German TV: the most powerful men in the Turkish army are all Erdogan's people. None of them is going against him. This is just coming from people in the military who only lessors.

On top of that: he has the police under his control and the vast majority of the people.

im going to post this from Reddit because people seem to be getting mixed up

Turkey's military does not answer to its president like many other countries. They serve to maintain the vision of the country's founder.

The current president of Turkey has been pushing more and more islamist-focused laws (control of the media, things like that). This goes against the secular-focus of the country's founding.

The military has decided the president needs to be removed, and have staged a coup to accomplish this. This is not unique in Turkey's history, their military has done this a few times in the past for the same reasons. Presumably, the military's goal is to put someone more secular in power of the government.

The police in Turkey work for the government. So they are fighting against the military currently.

This has happened many times in the past. The military is in right as they are carrying out the founding vision of a secular Turkey.

Stay safe turkish sisterns, this absolutely crazy. I hope it doesnt lead to a bloodshed if ratgan urges his little radical minions to use force and whatever happens a radical-free government free from islamist terrorists masked as "moderates" government emerges abd calm things down
Is there any statement from government officials in other countries? Im curious how is the world handling the news right now
