Looks like it is done by a small desperate poorly organizied group. Erdogan will be thankful for the opportunity to get even more power.

Again, I am hoping I am wrong here.

Soon Erdogan will be assassinated and his supporters will invite Russian military forces to restore order, giving them sovereign control of Istanbul and all Bosporus trade in gratitude.

Looks like the coup had failed. Turkey's last chance for liberalism and secularism has gone for a few good years.

Isn't it ironic that coup was the last hope for liberalism?

Now Ukraine needs some really crazy authoritarian government in Poland and we will have a wonderful set of neighbours

I doubt there is any reliable source actually stating that things are over either way yet.

Sure, there are a lot of disinformation flying around but we can be sure that

President is not arrested
PM is not arrested
MPs are not arrested
Even Mayors of Istanbul and Ankara are not arrested
I think it means that the coup is failed, they didn't replace government with themselves.

While pro-Erdogan spokesmen claim everything is fine and the coup is crushed, the coup's warplanes reportedly bomb targets in Ankara (the parliament building).

THY8458, a Gulfstream jet belonging to Turkey, has been orbiting South of Sea of Marmara for about 3 hours now. It has departed from where Erdogan reportedly was today.

In the meanwhile, parliament house is being bombed by fighter jets... I know because I saw it live. It seems they dont want to kill Erdogan, or at least not shoot down that particular state-owned jet, that clearly doesnt have a place to land to.

Interesting.


edit: and if theres no place to land to that means all the airports, civilian and military, are under the control of the coup.
