Suspected Turkey Coup Leader Served as Military Attaché to Israel
Haaretz ^

Posted on 07/16/2016 3:36:11 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

Six senior army commanders were arrested in connection with the failed coup that began Friday night, including General Akin Öztürk, who in the 1990s was the Turkish military attaché to Israel, a Turkish official told reporters. Öztürk, who later served as the commander of Turkey's air force, served in his country's Tel Aviv embassy from 1998 to 2000. The 64-year-old military figure stepped down as air force commander last year, but continued to serve on Turkey's Supreme Military Council.

The whole coup scenario is sounding more and more like a put-up job by Erdogan. Nobody could be this incompetent. We will find that most of those killed were anti-Erdogan. He is cleaning house in the Stalin style. He will end up as a dictator for life.

I agree with you and think your analysis is sot on but I believe he is going to face a harsh reality. I posted these thoughts on another thread. Muse this:

This is going to have severe consequences for Erdogan as he will be destabilizing the region even worse. Look for Putin to insert himself in the upcoming situation by igniting a civil war by covert means and then condemning on the national stage Erdogan for being behind ISIS and for crimes against humanity. This will get global condemnation and alienate Turkey from its NATO allies. Then the Russians will likely send a massive force to Turkey to join with the anti-Erdogan forces and wipe Erdogan out. They will then install their own strong man to stabilize the situation.

Terrorist need to know that we everyday, work a day, stiff Americans never get the truth from our govt. If they want to bomb, bomb something with the govt. Leave the rest of us alone. The govt is so disconnected from us.

But as Air Attache, he got to know a lot of IDF people, and that begins relationships.....

As a SECULAR Turk, and a SECUlAR Moslem, he had much more common interest with the IDF than he had with the radical Moslem state military.

IDF: “Guns and Moses”
