BREAKING NEWS: Reports of a nationwide military martial law declared by Turkish Army. 12:52 PM - 15 Jul 2016

Christiane Amanpour on CNN is in a state of panic.
If the intent of a military coup is to return Turkey to a more secular government as established by Ataturk, then this should be a positive development.
Of course, Erdogan has been staging a slow moving coup against the secular government since he assumed office, moving Turkey toward a strict Islamic government.
What this means for the trickle-down Islamization of Europe is another matter. I think Europe is/would be insane to allow Turkey full membership under any circumstance. But there are plenty of Euros ready to extend full EU membership and allow every Turk free movement around the EU.
I think we are seeing Caliphate in process
Now watch Pakistan
Military statement:
“To regain our constitutional,
democratic & human rights,
we are now officially controlling the country”
Very similar to what transpired in Egypt to get Morsi out.
US trained Military taking over an Islamic President/Government.
Thanks, if I recall correctly she mentioned there was one stop, so perhaps her final flight was cancelled. In either case, what a way to start a vacation, with a military coup attempt.
Ping.....
MB SOB Erdogan will be gone! Expect Egypt to be the first to recognize the new military government, possibly Russia is second.
ISIS end is near. 0b0z0’s ally is gone.
Things are looking up in spite of 0b0z0’s wishes.
Any Armenians left in Turkey?
Incirlik Airbase has long been used to forward base some nukes for NATO. A normal administration might have redeployed them, but this one is as likely to look away and leave the door open.
They also have the biggest Army in the Middle East, the most operational tanks and the most artillery - as well as the production base to produce their own weapons and ammo.
Hope it was not the Russians engineering this coup - the loss of Turkey would be epic.
Prayers up.
Post #100 ~ The military in Turkey, like the military in Egypt, has always been the enforcer of the more secular aspects of the nation, and after the current Turkish regime had gone a little off the rails, the military, organized mostly under the revolt of the colonels, is throwing out the deadwood.
This is not a new phenomenon for Turkey. ~
Agreed. But will they succeed? That remains to be seen...
Are you suggesting that another fifth columnist Muslim sympathizer self-identifies?
I'm not following you here.
Man, this is gonna tee off the BLM crew....they are losong publicity 2 days in a row!!/S
Not surprised.
I sensed that they were concerned about a lay leadership going off the rails.
I was thinking of that. I remember him on top of the roof with gunfire going on in the background.
I think we are seeing Caliphate in process
Now watch Pakistan
No.
Just the opposite.

TURKEY ARMED FORCES: TOOK CONTROL TO RESTORE FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY
She and Obama will both be very unhappy with anything that slows the spread of Islamic governments and influence.
Alahu uhhhh Akbar
Erdogone gone gone??
He is no Sadat.
Was thinking the same thing.
Mr. Obama will go crazy when Mr. Trump is elected.
Take over is by non secular group.
