Attempted Military Coup in Turkey

[skye]

Traditionally in Turkey the military have been a secular force for good and opposed to the Islamists

Well, I wouldn't go as far as believing they are a force for 'good', but certainly they are relative to Erdogan and the Islamo-Nazis.

That's what I am talking about!

The military in Turkey is a force for good compared to that crazy Islamo Nazi Erdogan!

Cos Turkey is a terrorist hotbed. I just heard that maybe 80-85 percent of ISIS fighters came from that country.

Seems that many people have responded to Erdogans call:

It is now after 2.20am in Istanbul, but live video footage appears to show crowds flooding onto the streets, gathering the Bosphorus Bridge and Taksim Square, apparently heeding the request from president Recep Erdoğan to resist the attempted coup. The crowds are directly defying a command from the military, which has declared martial law and implemented a curfew.

TV footage is showing chaotic scenes; some shots appear to show jubilant crowds of hundreds waving flags. There is video of groups of men marching and chanting through Istanbul Ataturk International Airport, and footage of groups of men doing the same in residential streets in the suburbs of the city.

Still more footage, from other parts of the city, have shown civilians appearing to confront military vehicles on bridges, or near government buildings, alongside the sound of occasional gunfire.

Turkey military coup: tanks open fire near parliament building – live updates


One witness has told CNN that as many as 1,000 people are now at the airport, some of whom have gained access to the tarmac. Turkey’s DHA TV network has broadcast images of hundreds of men surrounding a military vehicle, chanting, shouting and occasionally hurling missiles and punches at military personnel, who are taking shelter behind riot shields. Others show crowds seemingly cheering men in military fatigues.

Erdogan and the loyal citizens of Turkey will defeat the traitors and hang them in the public square. ....

 

[Picaro]

Well that's a very sad turn of events; hopefully it's just a temporary setback for the Army.

 

[montelatici]

Police versus MIlitary

 

[skye]

The situation is fluid.....let's wait and see....

Go Army!!!!!!

 

[montelatici]

It's going to determine whether Turkey will become an Islamic State or a secular state. Our local Muzzies are hoping for the former.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Unless the police are extremely armed with tanks and a airforce. How can they have the slightest chance against the army? Go Army!!!

Hey Freeman shouldn't you be posting updates for everyone in this thread that's been given to you about the bomb that's just happened at the Turkish Parliament.

Freeman you're ignoring and neglecting MY thread, get with the programme. If a thread is for no reason just given to you, you could at least post in that thread and not ignore the thread.
