Erdogan has apparently flown in to Turkey's Ataturk airport, something he'd never dare do if the plotters were in control. Sounds as if the military must be divided. <br /><br />A failure of the coup would probably incite Erdogan to tighten his control, possibly taking absolute power. He's almost there already. We may be witnessing the rebirth of the Ottoman Empire (only without the "empire" bit, at least not for now).The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-21595047875609029402016-07-15T17:23:21.807-07:002016-07-15T17:23:21.807-07:00Amazing...

They are the only reason Turkey accepted democracy. Erdogan was restoring Islamism and recently seemed to fashion himself as the next Ottoman ruler. His government gagged the press, took over the major newspaper and broadcast services, stifled and defied the Constitutional Court and suppressed the military. <br /><br />Erdogan's early years were impressive and he led Turkey well. It's been the past four years or so where he's turned against secular democracy and toward something else while driving his people to the brink of civil war. He had to go.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-73483310205827522992016-07-15T17:12:51.931-07:002016-07-15T17:12:51.931-07:00Let's just hope that the CIA has done a better...Let's just hope that the CIA has done a better job of covering its tracks this time than it did in Venezuela and Ukraine.John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-6946900703795669602016-07-15T17:01:04.561-07:002016-07-15T17:01:04.561-07:00BBC Radio 5 live is reporting that Mosques are pre...BBC Radio 5 live is reporting that Mosques are pressuring people to go to public places and protest the coup.
