I came to the conclusion that it was a staged coup the first day that news of it broke.
It took me a few hours to deduce it.
Glad to see that NATO, after months, confirms my deduction.
If it was real the tanks would have fired on the “protesters” and no way would Erdogan be walking around, let alone fly back to Ankara or where ever!
I remember seeing that stated here at the time of the coup. Now the consequences are very serious if proven true.
Many high ranking Turkish officers connected to NATO have been killed. Beheaded on a large bridge by the Esedullah. I’m told there are video’s of it. Did not ask to see it. But am sure I could get the link.
Erdogan’s ambition is poison to the already inflamed Middle East.
The chaos there has largely been inflamed by the actions of Obama and Hillary. (for Saudi money)
Agreed, this is like saying that Stalin was a totalitarian.
It looked staged from the start. Erdogan is a catastrophe for Turkey and for NATO. Turkey may not be in NATO much longer.
Yeah, FR did nail it within hours. NATO is very late to the party.
