BREAKING NEWS: Reports of a nationwide military martial law declared by Turkish Army. 12:52 PM - 15 Jul 2016
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Gulen followers and Erdogan....No difference for the US and West.
Both are Sharia caliphate dreamers. who is “better”...Hitler or Stalin.
why everyone on Freep is cheering this as if we are going to get a Secular Turkey out of this,I don’t get. The Gulen followers are in the Army, the media, etc. Three years ago Erdogan got rid of a lot of them,so here we go.....Islamists fighting Islamists for power and control of the Caliphate.
BREAKING: CNN JUST REPORTED OBAMA IS AGAINST THE COUP. HE IS SUPPORTING THE ISLAMIC PRESIDENT.
Why does it look like commies vs Erdogan? The Turkish mil has a history of being secularist as opposed to Islamist, never heard they were commie.
Obama and Kerry announced support to elected government.
Of course. If he tries to get the US mil to support Erdogan, our mil needs to have a coup.
It’s almost beginning now to resemble the failed Russian coup in 1992.
I guess this means no shipping merchandise to Turkey for awhile.
But is the coup being orchesterated by Gulen or not, that is the question.
FNC reporting a Turkish airplane shot down a Turkish helicopter.
“People reportedly being gunned down on twitter” Turkish Military took over TV stations telling people to shelter in place.
It’s Erdogan (from a safe undisclosed location) that told citizens to take to the streets.
Now they are being gunned down, the Western press (like CBS already has) will act like the military is out of line.
Entirely expected. Remember, he left the Iranian people to rot when they were in the streets against the mullahs.
I suspect that the US has given the coup our blessing. But, we may never hear anyone admit it.
IF this coup fails then I think very dark days are ahead of us. This COUP must work.
If it fails then Turkey is likely lost. Prepare for a real war.
Peace out Erdogan, you ISIS and HAMAS sympathizing Islamist POS!

BREAKING: Turkish F-16s shoot down helicopter carrying ‘coup plotters’
Not necessarily - if comrades and Muslim brothers Obrennan and OMuslim lose Erdogan, that’s a major hit to the CIA and SOF pipeline into Syria/ISIS.
There’s also the little matter of Russia & Putin.
rumors say yes.
More we don’t know. I really don’t think we’re going to end up with a Secular democratic Turkey.
Nice fantasy, ain’t gonna happen.
Media spinning that Obama has been increasingly upset by Turkey’s authoritarian stance.
I think that is a lie but I don’t know
