If its a coup in progress, he’ll be sacked along with the government by the generals.
That's where they put a sack over your head and let a firing squad use you for target practice.

A Turkish friend of mine told me the Military will tolerate the move towards a more religious state for only so long. Erdogan may have pushed to hard. This is potentially very good news. The Turkish military wants the 21st Century and not the 6th.
Yeah, and this seems well planned.
Nonsense.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople
Been a long time gone
Old Constantinople’s still has Turkish delight
On a moonlight night
Every gal in Constantinople
Is a Miss-stanbul, not Constantinople
So if you’ve date in Constantinople
She’ll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it, I can’t say
(People just liked it better that way)
Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can’t go back to Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks

I hope you get out of there soon and safely!
“Turkish is written in the Latin script.”

Now confirmed by government- coup attempt underway.

My first reflex to until I consider the timing. NATO did not appreciate Erdogan’s rapprochement with Syria and Russia which might have ended the Syrian war early.
Find an internet translator. Babel is a good one.
Bingo! You win the door prize for the day!
Where did you read that?
