Turkey coup d'etat

The helicopter attack is true. But it was a helicopter that gunned down the notorious 1150-room palace. The tv building wasn't attacked.

Thanks for the info, I had gotten that from a site that insists Erdogan's government is still in charge. So much conflicting info. Again, provisionary cause I don't know it's true but reports tanks have opened fire on parliament building.

[Daunt_Flockula]

Yeah, info pollution is going to be outrageous. This is partly the reason why I will remain skeptical till the end.

I'm seeing reports that the army are backing off from the increasing street presence of Erdogan supporters because they're reluctant to engage with civilians? Is this coup strong enough to succeed?

No, it isn't. Erdogan is calling his supporters to the streets from any kind of device, mosque loudspeakers, party vehicles etc., if soldiers shoot civilians, shit will get worse i think, they try to avoid that.

An Erdogan supporter ran towards a military checkpoint screaming Allah Akbar and got shot down, I don't think they're shy about it.
One of the streams I'm following, probably the most reliable one, the rest are a bit amateurish, don't trust them.

That's if this is an actual coup.

It's over... Sultan Erdogan won once again.

All of this is happening because you fuckers are slacking and stopped visiting this forum, so reality has to compensate with interesting events occurring every day.

[Oberyn]

It's over... Sultan Erdogan won once again.

Both the military and the establishment have been trying to present it as a fait accompli that they have already won, from the very start. It's clearly not over yet.

[Vibe]

erdogan calls people to streets while theres actual shooting going on, and these people actually go lmao, some serious brain damage

[Leshma]

Regardless how this ends, it is going to be a mess from now on. Countries after military coup d'état are never pleasant place to live.

[LordBerenger]

1. Hadn't there been another Coup D'etat before that Sultan Erdogan quelled?

2. Would be amazing if this actually goes through and a miracle.

3. Lol

[Leshma]

Oh yeah, in case you haven't noticed. Chances were extremely slim till now, but if EU is still standing in upcoming years you can be 100% sure Turkey is never going to become part of it. Ever.

[Oberyn]

Turkey has a military coup every couple decades or so. There's not going to be a military junta or dictatorship if the coup topples Erdogan, they have a long tradition of transitioning power to the civil sphere as soon as possible.
