Eyewitnesses have reported attack helicopters firing machine guns in the capital Ankara in a bid to depose the Islamic government.

Take the "Midnight Express."
I absolutely think it is a good thing. A very good thing.
THAT was a movie.
Nah. Just walk to the border. Duh. How are they supposed to leave exactly? Airports all closed. Twitter says traffic nightmares everywhere...
They have issued a warning for Americans there to stay indoors, and others not to travel there.
BTW, this is being called a coup, but it’s the duty of the military under the system Ataturk set up to ensure secular government. So it’s not a coup in the classic sense, it’s a constitutional remedy to an Islamic takeover.
This is what happened in Egypt.

This has been typical since the Ataturk. Military deposes a too-Islamic government, takes power for a time, hands government over to more secular civilians and returns to their barracks.
Erdogan is in another city in Turkey on vacation and has requested asylum in Germany. Lucky for him that just last week Germany voted not to insult Erdogan!!!
LOL - I’m serious!
In Turkey, the military is pro-Western, pro-individual rights, and secular.
Lotta people celebrating I’m watching Fox business news and the folks in the street celebrating... sounds like pro-coup!!!!!!
I wonder if the Turks will now finally pull out of Northern Cyprus.
Bingo!
We are in control. We control the horizontal, we control the vertical.... (who remembers the intro to that show?)
