All that's happened so far:
Military blocked passage from Asia to Europe on both bridges in İstanbul
F16s, Cobra helicopters flying low over Grand National Assembly.
Tanks outside Atatürk Airport
Turkish Armed Forces "taken over"
All of the above are illegal and NOT government
Popular social media blocked, %80 of population learned to change DNS tho.
Possible injuries, even fatalities though not confirmed.
>>58791

>>58794

>>58796
Might it be blocked by Turkish authorities?
>>58793
FUCK it's not just Armed Forces,
Turkish Armed Forces told they have taken over the government.
It's official.
(Something's wrong with my connection second time posting this because it wasn't uploaded.)
>>58798
How exactly did they make it official? How do these things work?
Holy shit that was fast.
>>58772
NBC News in America now reporting Turkish Military has released a statement saying they are in control of the state, that they will restore democratic order without violating any human rights. They are saying erdogan is "on vacation",
They also say Turkish Television is showing a documentary about Azerbaijan and according to reuters the military is in control there.
Looking for links to back all this up
>>58800
Turkish Armed Forces told that they have taken over the government entirely.
The coup is official, that's what I meant.
>>58802
Confirmed by OP/Turkroach.
Jesus christ people are gonna be so confused, everybody used to hate Erdogan, I dunno which they'd prefer now.
NBC TV reporter guy is in Ankara and says situation is very tense, "powderkeg",, says no counter reaction observed so far.
>>58808
it's always either a powderkeg or a tinderbox
>>58807
I can only imagine a bunch of generals around a laptop thinking of the perfect way to word the email saying they're in control.
Dear turkey,
We're taking over.

>>58810
I kekked out loud stop it anon my mom's gonna slap me for laughing while the military is taking over my country.
>>58811
Good luck brother.

Now National TV claims that that email is fake?
Isn't Erdogan out of the country currently?
Facebook, Youtube, Twitter are allegedly blocked.

Any turkfags close to the west of Ankara here? There is a thread on /b/ talking about this and someone just posted these coordinates - 39.9030393,32.4825731
Looks like a farm/outbuilding. Anyone around the area fancy taking a look? Could be nothing but hey.
>>58844
If this actually turns out to be a coup that "preserves human rights and restores democracy" then I'll actually be glad that it happened.
>>58852
I really hope this is the case.
>>58841
Though in fairness if the situation escalated to the point of violence between civilians on the street and soldiers, it would look good for Erdogan. Maybe that's the rationale.
>>58852
I'm turkish and I think you're a faggot
>>58852
I'm wondering about that- I'm an American, should I feel bad for kind of rooting for the military here? Turkbros?
>>58856
Go fuck yourself you kebab-brained faggot.
What are the implications of this? Will ISIS still be challenged by Turkey? Or is will this increase their spread?
>>58793
I heard the same thing. Official story is that the leadership in Turkey did not order it and it's a group within the military taking action. Official government has said responsible parties will have to deal with consequences. Scary stuff.
>>58857
Let's keep rooting out for now, this is too interesting to just turn it into a political discussion.
This is the best day of my life.

Parse out what we know, what's the best and worse possible scenario?
We do know Erdogan is against ISIS/ISIL/Daesh and has locked down their border with them, but won't help the Kurdish forces because they consider them terrorists. What are the possible motivations for the military to take control? Do you think they will be harsher or less harsh to Kurds and/or ISIS?
Can someone just give me a general background on the recent politics of the region? Where does Erdogan stand with Russia? Does Turkey's NATO membership mean NATO will send troops to regain control? How likely is there going to be a NATO/US draft and should I start stockpiling canned food and water? Ok that last one was a joke but 4 reel

>>58890
My thoughts exactly
>>58884
Based on US & Russian statements thus far, they're both backing this coup (like they did in Egypt).
I don't mean bribing the army, or supplying them....but they've agreed not to stop it. All the US-Russian diplomacy of the last few weeks suddenly makes sense....and it probably is mostly about Syria. Erog & co have, via action, made it clear they're prefering ISIS to the Kurds...so they're gone.
>>58885
It was reported that TRT main HQ was also a target of the military.
>>58889
Any turkbros can translate what are they chanting?
>>58870
Cops are apparently already disarmed by the military. As far as media here in the Netherlands goes. But nothing is getting really confirmed.
So they're supposedly rising against Erdogan's Islamisation of the state, and are trying to reinstall secular rule of law in the country. Assuming it's not a load of crap that's a good thing right? Last thing we need is a huge fundamentalist Islamic country on the doorstep of the civilised world.
When did the coup start?
Everybody take notes on how they this coup is done so we can get the beta uprising right
>>58877
Except if it fits their purposes.
Iirc, when there was a coup in ukraine (anti-russia and pro-EU), the west was very supportive of them.
So if they believe they're better off with the military leaders, bb Erdogan.
>>58878
godspeed anon.
>since 1960, Turkey hasn't gone 20 years without a military coup
>>58902
as long that is true, yeah, that should be good
From a German perspective I can feel nothing but schadenfreude towards Erdogan right now.

"US Secretary of State John Kerry says he hopes there will be peace, stability and continuity within Turkey, Reuters news agency reports."
"Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says it is important to "avoid bloodshed" in Turkey. Any issues should be settled within a constitutional framework, he adds."
Yep, it's a stich up. No fighting, done deal...this is why Kerry's been in Moscow.
Who's the opposition in Turkey? They'll get [some] power in 18 months or so. Maybe less.

Let's just hope 1. They aren't lying their asses out and 2. Turkey doesn't spiral into a failed state and we end up with a bigger Syria.
>>58911
hes in vacation somewhere in turkey. hes not in ankara or istanbul, so its hard to figure out whats going on with him
>>58902
that would fit, as Erdogan has been pushing a religious hard line for a while now. Hopefully the coup will pass off without excess bloodshed, a new political dialogue can be made, peace reached with the Kurds, and the curb-stomp against ISIS continues.

If the airforce weren't coupers they'd have attacked some of the definite-coupers by now.
Seems like the 'official' highest command desk-jobs of the military are political appointees loyal to constitution, but so far looks like coup is complete, army not split.
Some General Turksson had discreet contact with us & russia giving their blessing/consent, so it's all over. Public statements from both going along with coup, this is a done deal.
>>58951
Seeking it, is not the same as getting it

>>58968
No, if 20& of the army attacks the capital, the airforce should fight back or they're [at the very least] consenting to it.
The longer it stands, the less chance of reverting....they'll talk about restoring democracy as fast as possible, which means in ~a year, with a new constituttion, and ex-pm & pres won't be candidates.

Update from Turkfag:
TRT 1 (the official channel of some sort) has stopped airing after the "Peace Council" report
Some people are on streets and in panic. (As in running away, I dunno to where tho)
Danish Jurnalist says
"The people behind the coup will properly fight for a more westerly Turkey"
He also states that this could come as a response too the more religions line, pushed by Erdogan
article in danish
http://www.dr.dk/nyheder/udland/journalist-i-tyrkiet-kupmagere-vil-formentlig-kaempe-mere-vestligt-tyrkiet
For those of you who don't know, Turkish military is aligned with the secular / progressive beliefs of Atatürk (founder of modern Turkish state) and periodically intervene in Turkish politics to kick out governments who stray too far from the modern, secular ideals the state was founded on... I.e. they are against creeping Islamism and consolidation of power by presidents. Potentially a coup is a good thing, if you are yourself reasonably secular and "modern"
Simplified and I suggest you read up about it.

I don't know much about Turkey's situation.

Payback for Constantinople!
Now, more seriously, what are the consecuences of this when it comes to Europe?

Sounds like another way of saying "military junta".
>President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in a phone interview on broadcaster CNNTürk that a "minority group" in the military has attempted a coup.
>Erdoğan said the parallel state, referring to the followers of the U.S.-based scholar Fethullah Gülen, has promoted the attempt.
>"We will not leave the ground to them," he said, vowing to end the "occupation" by the group, called on nation to unite at squares and airports. Erdoğen said he would also be on the streets.
>The move is not as part of the chain of command., he said.
>"I am the chief commander," he said.
>Separately, on broadcaster NTV, Erdoğan said no attempt against himself was made.
>Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said earlier that Turkey is facing an uprising attempt from inside the army, with the state-run Anadolu Agency reporting that Chief of General Staff Hulusi Akar is being kept as a hostage with a group. Erdoğan neither confirmed nor denied the information, telling that there was an "obscure atmosphere" of information.
>A group of civilians attempted to enter the state-run TRT, which is taken over by the group which attemted the coup, but the group inside fired at the group, wounding one person.
>A military helicopter was shooting fire at the TRT building.
>A group naming itself "Peace in the Country Council," published a statement on Turkey's state-run broatcaster TRT, which it had taken over during the July 15 coup attempt, that it has taken the power in the country.
>The statement said the group so-called council will trial at "fair courts" all those "have betrayed the country.
>The so-called council also declared a curfew.
...
>>58901
Yeah sure the cops will take down the military lmao.
>>59034
As far as I know, the military in Turkey has a history of being its conscience. We have to see whether they are just banking on that reputation or if they are actually bringing back Atatürk's secularity.
>A CNNTürk reporter said a helicopter shoot on the General Staff headquarters in Ankara.
>CNNTürk reported that two busses full of soldiers entered the headquarters of the state-run TRT in Ankara. Channels started to broadcast wheather forecast only.
>"This cannot be called a coup for the moment. This is an uprising," PM Yıldırım said. The security forces are in action against this he said, in phone call to broadcaster NTV.
>"We will punish it the hardest way," he also said.
>“Our security forces will use force against force, he said.”
>The head of the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) said on broadcaster CNNTürk on the phone that a group of soldiers were trying to take them out of the building.
>He called on citizen to hit the streets against the attemp, similar to pro-govrenment papers on their websites.
>Ambulances await in front of the General in Staff headquarters in Ankara, as entrance to the building is denied.
>Atatürk Airport has been closed to traffic, with tanks waiting in front of it.
>A number of armored vehicles have cut a main road in Istanbul, where the Istanbul police headquarters is located.
>Gendarmerie has blocked entrances to bridges in Istanbul from the Anatolian to the European side of the city on July 15.

Not that anon, but I have to say that while I in general think that being rid of Erdogan is only a good thing, there is the huge problem of destabilization of the state and disillusionment to be considered.
Whatever democratic constitution the military puts into place afterwards will still be tainted by the fact that they removed the guy that most people voted for (through a very undemocratic voting system, but still).
While I doubt that the situation will blow up, we must remember, that nobody expected Syria to get as bloody as it did in the first two months or so. If the MIT actually follows the order to fire at will things can get out of hand.

>>59054
There is also to be considered the issue of refugees. While I was no fan of the shady ass deal that Merkel made with Erdogan (thank Serdar for pointing out how her reaction to Böhmermann proved that she had made herself susceptible to blackmail with that), there is still the issue of the 2? 3? honestly dont remember off teh top of my head, refugees trapped at the Syrian border. While I doubt that the flood gates have opened once again (the Turkish army has no interest in killing the refugee deal as they want to continue business as usual with the EU) I doubt having such a powder keg situation in the middle of this will go well for those people.
Lastly there is also to be considered the recruitment wet dream for ISIS that just happened. I mean, people from Izmir, Istanbul, Antalya etc. should be fine, as we Germans and Brits are too used to making vac. in Turkey to give it up like we did Egypt and Tunisia, but the Anatolian conservative regions, that already were structurally weak and voted for Erdogan? Yeah, those guys will probably in six months or so make their way across the border Arab-Turk hatred be damned.

Turkey hates ISIS, but hates Kurds even more. This is a big problem for fighting ISIS because the Kurds are the best against ISIS (in fact, apart from Assad, they're almost the ONLY against ISIS in Syria).
Current [not for long it looks like] Turkey govt is Islamic (by turkish standards, not exactly Saudi Arabian), but military is secular. So everyone agrees to look other way if Turk military overthrows govt & stays out of way of [trying to] patch up syria for a while.
It's extremely similar to what happened in Egypt in 2014.

Turkey made a deal with germany to only let syrian refugees pass through, but not from other countries. In return, germany's government turned a blind eye on the human rights violations going on in turkey.
German satirist Böhmermann mocked erdogan in a poem. Erdogan, being unfamiliar with free speech, demanded prosecution for Böhmermann, which, to everyone's surprise, was exactly what happened.

With all due respect but this news is useless, democratic Chinese leaders have been deposed 70 years ago and they still claim they're the rightful rulers. Erdogan/ the PM/ whoever have absolutely no reason not to claim they're still in power regardless of the facts on the ground. The only news here is that they haven't been killed/detained yet.

It could be "Ya Allah, Bismillah, Allahu Ekber" which is essentially a few Islamic phrases, but Erdogan uses it as a party slogan.
>>59133 yeah im kinda seeing live broadcasts but i agree with you
>>59134
Erdogan is a shithead who has been reversing pretty much all progress towards a more secular society in recent years. The military is putting an end to this as per their orders by Atatürk who saw this shit coming decades ago.
So that USAF base in Turkey secured/on lockdown?
>>59134
Historically, because Erdogan was pushing for Islamisation and the army tends to take action against that.
But that's all speculation. Could be a plain old power grab, or a million different things. The long and short of it is: we don't know until more evidence emerges, and whoever claims otherwise is trying to push an agenda onto you.
>>59134

>>59134
Military is secular (I don't think they are Kemalist as in the party aligned, but other anons may feel free to correct me on this). They traditionally feel entitled (or obligated depending on your viewpoint) to serve as guardians of secularlism in Turkey.
After Erdogan has turned back on secularlism for years, started a war that ended decades of peace work with the Turks to call a new election and get the results he wanted, so he could change the constitution and make Turkey a presidential republic and due to him "bombing ISIS" meaning basically bombing the Kurds and ignoring ISIS (and covertly aiding ISIS when it is convienient for him, eventhough he hates them) made the military hate them. Also the fact that he castrated them pretty well via reforms a few years back.
Not enough to prevent this apparently. I think the recent terror attacks were the final straw most likely.
Recent video off gunfire:
https://twitter.com/NewsThisSecond/status/754079099778371584
It's over.
The people of Turkey have spoken. The military didn't go out to spill the blood of citizens and have backed down. This was Turkeys last chance to get rid of this islamic cunt and revert the country back to its old state.

The streets aren't important, they'll let them protest rather than shoot them, it won't actually do anything.

It's too bloodless and calm for a coup.
Also the leader of the opposing party said that democracy was returning to Turkey so I'm guessing he's fucked.
What I'm wondering is what are the soldiers going to do? They can't just surrender.
>>59172
>Hmm this can really backfire in a big way
yeah but killing civilians has its own set of consequences.
>>59161
Not that anon, but news report that protestors control Taksim Square. Highly symbolic and if enough people fail to cooperate and start a sit in things can get messy for the military and idiots start losing their nerve and may start firing.
So far the military seems to be on top, but if control starts to slip and things are unclear things can get messy.
Not to mention if rumours get started about the military having killed someone or something.
If I were a guy angry that my president got couped out of power and out in the dark in a crowd of other angry people I'd believe in a heartbeat that those guys are murderes and start getting violent.
Really a shame that the police is from the reports at least not on the side of the military, some relatively "soft" power would be pretty useful to clear the square.

True, though the situation is not a simple 1:1 anology, as the Brotherhood was elected after a revolution following decades of dictatorship and ruled only during times of crisis. Erdogan meanwhile has been quite a mixed bag for Turkey, while being an anti democratic, reactionary dirtbag he knew never to touch the motors of economy too much to make people turn sour on him. Thus ousting him comes as a far greater shock to his supporters, who are also more numerous. Back when Sisi couped IIRC a majority of Egyptians were for it.
>>59196
probably unfortunately
>>59199
The soldiers in the tank gave up and are being lead to the car right now. What are they going to do? Kill innocent people and completely lose whatever inkling of support they have? Get arrested and hope the rest of your group succeeds and takes over is all they can do right now.

>>59054
They're likely keeping the same Constitution with possibly a change in whether term limits combine for PM and President or the amendment process.
The thing that set the "oh shit" alarm with Erdogan was that he wanted to amend the Constitution to give himself more power as president (which has virtually no power in itself) in 2014. The entire rest of the gov't except Erdogan and his staff/advisors and biggest boosters will be kept in place, including the PM. Strangely enough, as far as the history of modern Turkey goes, military coups are kind of like part of the Check and Balance system there against extremists and authoritarians -- they've happened several times in this manner: selective removal of officials and that's it.

there were noone killed there yet what i know. they were only ducking to avoid the warning shots the military fired Before the decided to open the bridge for cars to pass through
>>59271

Sky reporter is having a bad time holding her contempt for the Coup supporters.
that sucks, the bad guy stills in place
>>59266
Yes.
BBC live is pretty good atm. Though I remember Libyas BBC live. Their on the scene reporter got put in the back of a rebel technical with her cameraman, and driven up and down that Tripoli coast road, non-stop footage of the same few hundred cheering rebel supporters for hours....but BBC stuck with it 'cos it was THEIR reporter live from Tripoli, where other outlets were using twitter & mobile phone footage of the actual fighting further in the city.
Have the good guys already lost?
>>59273
Why the fuck are they singing Ottoman shit lol. Gotta love crowd logic.
>>59265
yeah i saw that video, they fired at the fence, no one was hit. Also that video about the tank trying to run over people? Nope. It clearly is trying to get around them. nice try though
>>59273
pls no
Good guys already lost, they made erdogan their leader already, army were shit only 20 civilian captured a tank army was a lie... sorry for bad English.
Shit, I just went over to /pol/ to see what shitposts they came up with for this (was not disappointed /pol/ is still worst board), but one post made me remember that, oh right, the US has nukes stationed in Turkey. Will be awkward no matter how this goes.
No matter how you look at it, this ain't the 80s anymore. Having nukes in a nation that goes coup is pretty problematic to justify to congress. Not that I expect them to be pulled out, too much of corner stone of the western defense system, but interesting to ponder.

It's pretty bad now that's it's infested with shills.
Other than that I don't see what's so bad about it.
>>59291
link??
>>59291
Firing, not at any crowd or indeed anyone in particular.
>>59291
I think that helicopter was shooting at the MİT HQ, the heli was shot down by an F-16.
>>59281
What about the video where they were carrying a body to the back?
The coupers won right /news/? They didn't let the civilians be dumb asses and let them think they know what's best for them right? Erdogan, his party, and government will be purged right?
now the government has lives on their hands for this conflict

So the reports of the helicopter being shot down by the jet is false?
The idea that the entire army is part of the coup sounds farfetched. Especially after what Erdogan did to dismantle it.
>>59314
Could be that they're surrending to not shoot civilians. As long as you cut the head off you win. They don't need TRT or anything else.

That's fair especially when the mosques and the President are urging supporters to rush the military like a mob.
fact remains the military isn't out to kill en masse
>>59319
I hope you're right anon.
>>59319
Even funnier that Erdogan gave the military immunity hours before this happened.
as for now 17 police are dead from erdogans special force, the helly is not confirmed to be shot down and one persón did appereantly get killed at the bridge a minute ago

WHY THE GOOD GUYS ALWAYS LOOSE
An hour ago, Erdogan said "Get into the streets, climb their tanks, defend the democracy" and now I can hear protestors. Thousands of people are in the streets which are mostly Erdogan supporters. They scream "Allah Akbar" and mosques repeatedly announce religious content. Protestors getting up on the tanks and firing to the soldiers. Government propaganda is everywhere on TV. National channel TRT has been taken over by military announced a coup and curfew, but now it is only a blank screen. Internet has been slowed down and Erdogan supporter people knock doors and wants you to come with them; even they do show their guns and try to scare you. Voices from outside has too many Arabic words like "Allah Akbar" and it is much like Isis.
F16 jets low flight over the city and looks like it is going bad. A tank just drived into the crowd very fast.
Things getting bad in here.

One source says on his way to GB, another he's heading back to Ankara.

maybey
but in all this confusion whos to say whats going on if it did?
is the jet part of the coup or the helicopter?
for all we know they could be on same side and its a case of friendly fire.

What happens is that the Turkish Army has been planning and are now executing a coup against presidency.
The Americans are probably behind it, on the side of the Army.
Erdogan wanted to consolidate power, the people voted for hims, but were Islamic plebs, people from the country who support ISIS and don't respect NATO or America too much. Erdogan is their leader.
So, Americans had the choice of either kicking Turkey out of NATO, or taking control against Islamic plebs and make it a secular country. They chose the latter.
I'm amazed, though. I thought Obama was more of a pacifist, and would rather retreat embassy and American military personnel from Turkey.
It seems Americans are trying instead to take back Turkey and make it modern and secular again. This is because Turkey has a large army and in NATO, and Americans don't want to lose such NATO asset.
What they are doing right now is fighting with the old regime, with police, national security agencies.
The people in the street are on the Army's side, the people who lost the election, and are fighting against the internal regime. The people who voted for the regime are peasants stuck in the country, they are not in cities.
What a time to be alive!
>>59361
or they dust is settling and that's just pr? just a thought
>>59357
Old footage, over and hour old.
>>59364
They want to show they are for the people, but not for Erdogan.
>>59374
Good point, didn't think of that. Hope so.
>>59362
Yes. I was for freedom of religion all the time, but if this proves to be true then fuck Islam and fuck Turky

Is this true? Because if it is then all the news outlet are lying bastard.
>>59373

Seriously?
>>59380
Some of them, in the cities, are with Erdogan, but are very few. The majority of the country is with Erdogan, but the majority in the cities are with the Army for a secular nation. That's why they aren't shot by the Army. They are fighting the police in cities, and are backed by the Army.
BBC dude really doesn't like Ero.
>>59373
I am all on your side, but the people are killing the solderis and the mosques are screaming for praying all over the place... so people are defending their shit muslim dictator.

So is this proof that the planes are on the coup side and we're just being lied to?
>>59384
The current Turkish government wasn't elected democratically.
There have been countless incidents of building where votings happened losing electricity and people not being allowefd inside to see the counting. Non of this reported on the main tv channels ofcouse because the roach owns them.
>>58855
>Just coordinates? What does the /b/tard want us to find there? A nuke?

>>59373
>America is behind this
Why? they gain literally nothing from it except another headache. as you yourself said it would be massively out of character for Obama. If he were that kind of president he would acted far more different in syria.
This from all signs seems like an internal thing, that both Russia and US are sitting out, signalling that they would be willing to work with the new coup regime.
>The people on the street are on the army's side.
Right, which is why they are callin Erdogan's name. Clearly they are shouting the name of a man they wanna see hanged.
>>59388
Are you living in Turkey bro? The people on the streets are NOT on the army's side.
>>59384
Which can mean both... right?
You never know who is behind the coup...
>>59395
exactly
>>59395
Are you living on turkey? how do you know which side they are on? we actually have no clue about that at all, just what the media are feeding us.
>>59387
they just switched to prom news. fuckem
>>59395
There are pro and anti coup demonstrations.
Can somebody please explain to me why Germany would refuse Erdogan access and why would they think this won't instantly translate into:
1. Conclusive proof of German support of coup.
2. Immense inexplicable middle finger to Turkish state that will have immense diplomatic repercussions.
>>59352
>media is already painting them as the bad guys
CNN has guys saying that the military is the constitutional protectors of democracy and talking about how Erodgan is getting too authoritarian. So CNN seems to be pretty neutral as to who is good vs bad.
CNN is also not exactly sure who's winning, at least on their live TV channel.
>>59382
If this is confirmed, that looks like bad news for coup. Christ does recaptcha really like its' pizza
>>59395
I mean if you were on the coup's side, why even go outside? That just hinders the coup from proceeding. If you support the coup fucking stay at home and let them take care of shit.
>>59402
No idea. I didn't expect this to happen. Erdogan has been a good friend of the german governement.
>>59402
The whole story was bollocks. He never asked for "asylum", it doesn't even make sense that he would.
>Sky suspends news to talk showbiz
It's over. Coup supporters will be painted as facists, anti-people, etc etc. They handled it all the right way but in the end the world refused o support them over fear of backlash from extremists. Understandable, but disheartening all the same
>>59396
the statement carefully left out Erdogan's name, so its designed to be as vauge as possible. Although a government established via coup usually isn't a democratic one.
>>59390
>so people are defending their shit muslim dictator.
True that. He did win the election. Purely democratic, the Americans are wrong. Morally, the Americans are right.
>>59394
>they gain literally nothing from it except another headache
They gain stability of relationship with the second largest army in NATO. Until recently, they were in NATO just with the name, but they were siding with ISIS because Erdogan and ISlamic plbs from the country support ISIS, a majority of Turks do.
> he would acted far more different in syria
No. He would have had nothing to gain in Syria. Plus, he would have had to stand against Putin.
>Right, which is why they are callin Erdogan's name. Clearly they are shouting the name of a man they wanna see hanged.
There are also Erdogan supporters in the street, obviously. I obviously don't have ALL the details. But in cities, most people voted against Erdogan. And also, Erdogan specifically asked people to come out and shout. So, yeah, you have some people on his side in the street.
they just carried a body out of the studio, i couldnt see if it was dead or alive
>>59406
german anon here, maybe bc germany and turkey had alot of tension recently, also alot of germans are pissed about erdogan so idk whats going on atm
>>59408
is there another stream?
>>59407
Agree. I mean, how would we even know this stuff if there was nothing official?
>>59402
Because Merkel is not about to commit political suicide. She decided to for once not sit out a problem with the refugee crisis (after she ignored it forever, but hey) and immediately went from close to a majority for her own party to a hate figure for many people. Giving refuge to a man people from all political spectrums hate with a passion would result in CDU polls joinin SPD below the 30% threshold.

>>59410
>True that. He did win the election. Purely democratic, the Americans are wrong. Morally, the Americans are right.
It wasn't. There have been plenty of reports of foul play on social media during this cunts last election.
>>59399
I am in İstanbul. I don't have anything else then TV and Twitter, but everyone is either praising the public for "stopping the coup" or laughing at them because they fell for a fake coup.

>>59417
I wouldn't underestimate the stupidity of the Turkish country voter. If Erdogan is guilty of anything, it's cynicism and playing the fools, but not actual fraud.
someone with a link to the bomb in the parliament?
>>59421
Should arrest all of them and put them in workcamps.
>>59421
We are Turks. We are everywhere. You should've known that by now but why the hell are they attacking the television crew?
>>59424
I think he won with a landslide anyway so it might not have mattered, but foul play happened.
>>59421
Stay safe, everyone
>>59427
because we live in a world where we won't stop them anymore
>>59427
Probably because they're fucking animals.

Because they are anti western media (that's what it says in dutch on the site)

Funny how the gouv keep saying it's done and everyone else is saying there's still gunshot/explosion. Is it done or not?
>>59429
underrated spam
Guy on CNN now saying that the protestors only came out because Erdogan summoned them, and now it's over and everyone has gone home because the government won.
>>59428
But would he have won with a landslide without the foul play? there is no way to tell when the shadow of doubt is in play.
>>59428
I think the whole 'intentionally restarting a civil war' thing outweighs electoral irregularities, personally.
>>59433
>https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/754084112156229632
doesn't look like a rocket to me.
usually they are shot in a volley and hardly ever the building is still standing afterwards.
>>59428
There was like no doubt that the election was manipulated, dont have any sources to back this up
news says that coup failed
buy also that they can't trust the local news
>>59438
Good thing CNN has access to a telepath who can read the minds of thousands of Turks and knows exactly why they all went into the streets.
American media is such a joke.
>>59440
True that, too. But I don't think there's be a civil war. That's why they wanna move fast with a new constitution. Make it legal to take power so you don't have to have a war about it.
>>59402
Has there been a reliable source backing up that it actually happened? No German news sites seem to have reported anything about it either.
>>59444
Ministry of the Interior said it
>>59436
If I were the coupers, my strategy now would be to convince people it failed so that they go homes and the coup can continue with minimal civilian casualties.
>>59445
They've been chanting presidents slogans, & presidents name. It's not mind reading to see who protestors support, they tell you as loud as they can...
>>59450
i Think thats what they are trying but fialing to do right now
>>59438
Now footage from a bridge in Istanbul with soldiers firing into the air to control the crowd.
More shots being fired from the top of the tank.
Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling:
"As we like to say the pucker factor is very high."
No reports from the capital Ankara.
So this shit isn't as under control as some people say.
Did the coup fail? What happened, I' confused
>>59450
That would be brilliant. Sadly I believe the anti-coup will keep the unrest going, especially with these new explosions to paint the Coup in a more violent light
>>59427
Turkey is propplery the least country. i think only USA has less of a consistent public genome.

There hasn't, but it's been reported by dubious sources several times, so I was just asking hypothetically if it actually happened what could be the rationale for it.
>>59446
I think he means the restarting of the Kurdish war.
>>59446
No no no.
There was an election last summer, AKP (strongman party) barely managed to get a coalition together. So he restarted the Kurdish war, which'd been on successful ceasefire for ages....to play to his strengths, calls a new election just a few months after previous, says civil war is result of weak coalition government....gets landslide.
>>59454
Unknown. There's too much conflicting information to be able to tell just yet.
So i've been looking at who's tweeting all this shit and it's always ectremist of both side. Conclusion is that we have no reliable info which is to be expected.

They have several different people on who have different viewpoints (and evidence, the guy talking that protestors are pro-president is talking about his local area, meanwhile the US experts are looking at different footage) are disagreeing with each other.
Hertling is now saying that any call about who is winning is too early because of the decentralized nature of this coup with multiple locations.

for me personally it felt like the coup lost a few minutes ago but the situation seems to keep fluctuating
At this point the citizens lose either way. Either they live under military rule, or Erdogan gains even more power and pretty much becomes a Sultan.
>>FOX Turkey reports that members of the parliament have descended down to the bunker in the TGNA, and that there are people injured.
Running to bunkers even though the coup is done right...

>>59483
We don't know that the coup intends to install a (lasting) military dictatorship.
From their announcement they claim the opposite.
there rumors that a bomb or rocket has hit the turkish parliament
>> Apparently Erdogans airplane is circulating over Turkey right now. https://www.flightradar24.com/THY8456/a5a3952
>>59484
Hate to jump on a conspiracy but it seems like the pro-government military bombing to make the Coup military look like maniacs.
CNN is now done with Turkey and going back to talking about the France truck driver.
I think they're actually waiting for more details for once instead of showing the same shit over and over. Helps that they have another major news story to talk about with new details.
>>59490
When the military has that much power, its only a pretend Democracy
>>59483
How do the citizens lose if they are under military rule?
news are talking about different explosions,
I can hear jets and other noises on periscope.
Apparently, the general Hulusi Akar was being held hostage by the army and recently freed. Not sure how reliable the sources are, though.
So now can we talk about this being a hoax set up by the government?
There is blood smeared over our walls, brain matter slowly sinking to the floor. The bodies already there don't mind the gore falling upon them. The price for keeping the peace is high. Morality is ruthlessly shoved down like potential power usurpers. We are in the right. We must keep telling ourselves this, lest we be driven mad by the absurdity of it all.
>>59483

not likely, turkey has a history of military coups, with them allowing a """free""" election of a prime minister or president.
>>59496
>France truck driver.
Reasonable, also a fairly large story. damn captcha going nuts tonight, every single post...
I'm in İstanbul, just heard a loud boom and jet sounds following it. Could be a jet flying hypersonic. I can still hear it but definitely going slower now. We need someone from /k/ here.
God, do the Pro-Erdogan people have anybody who can actually make a good analytical, convincing point about this whole situation?
All I hear are the standart blanket statements of "the Gulen movement is behind this because I say so", "The people are backing the government", "Coups must always be condemned", "Erdogan is the elected president", "This is just like Nice".
I mean, it's not even the fact that I am disagreeing with them that pisses me off, but lack of of skill in presenting the bias they want to push. I mean the other analyst, who are anti-Erdogan, both pro and anti-coup at least take the effort to intellectually analyse the current political situation in Turkey what influence this will have on what will happen, why it happened etc. etc.
>>59492
lets see how long it will circle there.
With Army F-16s in the air, I doubt that Erdo is in there.
>>59468

>>59508
Other people are claiming it's a bomb.

It amazes me with with social media how they're going to paint this all ina good light for the President by directly manipulating the spectacle.

>>59508 news in sweden said there was a bomb in the parliament in Istanbul but nothing from ankara except some kind of fire bomb in a building
>>59523
CBS live stream just say that "unconfirmed" reports say that Erdogan will land in Istanbul.
>>59518
Don't think I have that, some ancient version of 4cX...I only ever come here for threads like this or /diy, 4chan went to shit after chanology.
It's interesting that coup's always get a bad rap.

Well, I hoped this coupe succeeded. Erdogan is an asshole

Yeah, I am sad to say it seems like Erdogan won. Get ready for more crackdown and more reporters thrown into jail, military to get even more castrated.
Well, let's hope Erdogan is stupid enough to declare state of emergency in perpetuity, Mubarak style and see the people turn against him within the next year.

It's not. Turkey has put the power of protecting its secularism into the hands of the army. The army comes along, fucks some politicians, waits for shit to calm down and has people re-elect.

At first; soldiers was peaceful, after an hour Erdogan summoned protestors and the people start to shot the military. Soldiers get aggressive. Council building has been bombed, a helicopter shot down, goverment jets fly over the erdogan's plane to protect him while he lands, a missile hit the building next to me.

relatively high military officials, but not the highest. It's the same deal as the 1960 coup. The one in 1980 was started by the general of the army, but in this case that guy and his underlings are puppets put there by Erodgan and he got kidnapped quite early into the coup.

I doubt Gulen would have any sway in the military.
This is Turkish Army doing what it's supposed to do.
tl;dr - summary
Army group takes Ankara for anti-islamist reasons, tries to order other army groups after taking supreme military HQ (official high command all ero stooges), but other army groups not ready or willing to follow with surprise coup.
Coup holds capital, relatively bloodless pseudo-protests elsewhere. Coup seemingly cannot win unless rest of army agrees.

yeah I heard his name being thrown around several times with ties to the military coup.

>>59650
what did they do
>>59677
I learned from MW2 that if you're supposed to shoot all the screens in the room to turn it off
>>59681
he dead
how much of the military is actually involved in the coup?
also, how the fuck you screw up a military coup? they've done it successfully before.

just heard a gunshot and a scream
>>59729
They've been saying that every 5 mins all evening. Ignore them, they're not credible.
>>59729
>says increasingly nervous roach for the 20th time this night
>>59715
the parliament, look at ankara and navigate through Points here http://turkey.liveuamap.com
>>59729
what else can they say
What the actual fuck. On one source I've been seeing that soldiers are turning down their weapons to the armed police, on another one that the military has taken over.
>>59729
Coup at this point seems to be failing in Istanbul, but the continued blackout in Ankara means that it might only be a local failure (or Ankara is a local success).
>>59735
I'm guessing they're not allowed to fight civilians unless they have to. It's a military coup against the government, not the populace.
No reason to kill people trying to hold a TV station after you've broadcast your message, justlay down your arms and surrender.
>>59735
In Ankara military are consilidating, in other places surrendering.
>>59735
As with many conflicts, it reaches a point where both sides think they can sway it by shitposting media saying they're winning. The news will be a shitshow for a couple hours. Eventually things will be come clear.
Hold on, it's a fun ride.
apparently a pro-Erdogan group tried to enter the CNN building hence the gunshots
At what point is a coup considered succesful anyway?
>>59743
When they kill the politicians they were set out to kill. Cut off the head.
erdogan plane in the air again
>>59742
I'm guessing they are the ones clapping and whistling like retards.
>>59746
ye
>>59743
When one side can't clearly claim they are in control.
>>59745
Hope they shoot him down.
...that came across as edgy. I am sorry. I just want something to happen.
>>59740
No reason to keep pushing on the other cities. Ankara has all the "management buildings".
>>59745
If this is true then isntanbul isn't under gouv control as much as they claim
>>59750
Don't worry anon, I feel the same.
>>59746
all the mobs are pro-erdogan, no reports of the opposition being on the streets besides the military.
being anti erdogan and going on the streets right now would be a good way to get beaten to death
imma sleep anons, everyone in turkey currently, stay safe!!! lets hope i wake up and turkey idnt ruled by an islamistic dictator anymore.

What's with the audio on the CNN stream?
It keeps cutting from what seems like fanatics, to what sounds like a dude on a radio or something.

nice try, too obvious though
>>59756

Aking since a state TV reporter only half an hour ago claimed on CBS that soon Erdogan would adres the nation.
>>59756
kek actually opened it and played the song cause it's a classic
>>59757
I think one of the reporters snuggled a microphone to outside of the building. He just said that the police were taking over the building. The chants are from pro-Erdogan group.
>>59761
the fact that the mob isnt in the studio means they're either still on the street and not going to enter or someone is guarding the living fuck out of that room
>>59744
But that instantly makes them the bad guys and war criminals.
They are using the constitution to back their action (which I am pretty in favour of) but shooting undefended opposition isn't going to get them any points.
It's the same reason we've seen some groups surrendering to police forces, they are trying to overthrow a government, not gun down a ton of people.
>that turk man in the cnn stream
what is he shouting???????????????? at the studio i mean
>>59767
guy that said he took off again has already said he landed again too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO0g09LfbNQ
has the crowd made it into cnn turk? a civlian seems to be presenting
CNN back on, partyl. Some civil dude came in and yelled "We are on air again!"
What the fuck?
How'd that guy get in?
>>59770
there's some guy there now trying to broadcast
That guy trolls on CNN?
holy shit, now the mic guy's yelling while some random dude is at the desk.
Guys, I was talking to a (non-turkish) person that explained to me the coup must be an American/Saudi conspiracy to get rid of the oh-so-good president Erdogan, that he's a "real" pacifist muslim and that's why they want him gone. I've read elsewhere that the guy instead is some kind of dictator since for example he wasn't even elected democratically, but that person insists it's all lies
Can anyone give some background on this? Thank you
On a side note she also insists that the coup has failed and the "baddies" were arrested, but as I see here reports of fights are still coming
>>59776
nobody can understand you
>>59778
Muslims allways find a way ind
Holy shit that guy is not a crew member he's a civil. The building isn't safe and he's trying to broadcast.

oh fuck me, the guy in there is pro erdogan, he was just shout bismallah
In case the CNN guy gets killed live, we are watching a red room?
>>59782
nothing to understand, some people like erdogan some people dont and they'll try to push their respective side of things
>>59262
I ama medical officer in the greek army in aegean.and we are on top of vehicles.with ammo and supplies...even though coup is going down we prolly gonna be up and running till mid day tomorrow
>>59789

>>59790
yup
>>59792
If that's true, good luck.
>>59792
It's actually the one night you can truly relax, neighbour.
Can anyone translate what pink-shirt is saying on the live stream?
Heh, sounds like they are chanting USA on the CNN stream.
Well guess that's another country that's going to turn completly islamic dictatorship shortly enough now.
>>59782
Erdogan has pretty much bought every newspaper and TV station to push his bullshit.
When this coup was happening they were talking about a possible terrorist attack and not a coup and back when the sit ins happened in taksim, non of the major channels reported on it.
A few years before he dismantled the Turkish army with some ridiculous allegations because he knew a coup was going to happen at some point. Now he wants to change the constitution to give the PM more power. Also he built a literal palace
pinkbro left
>>59792
Who would you have sided with if for some insane reason you were ordered in? Just curious.
>>59800
2 bad the turk people proved they want to be under dictatorship tonight.
>>59782
Erdogan is the type that attacks his own people with tear gas and closes down newspapers if they criticize him. Make of that what you want.
>>59804
Shame too since he only won 13.3% of the vote in '14
That's hardly a majority of the people
Erdogan is speaking in the airport right now
>>59806
sitting in the parliament now it looks like, the airport was on tape
>>59806
Source?
>>59467
All leaves of absence are revoked in greek army.alert level at frontier units is raised.and generally people in greece are afraid.but there is no real threat.
>>59803
The crowds are a bit skewed compared to the real people's opinion. Istanbul is Erdogan's home town, probably some of his most hardcore supporters were guaranteed to listen to him and come out. Anyone pro-coup or neutral was told to stay home.
>>59808
Not that Anon but I'm watching it on cable TV
https://twitter.com/DailySabah/status/754120951600676865
Apparently pinkbro was just saying the civilians were retaking control of the building, seems they got rekt thou.
>>59808
What I've been seeing from Twitter
http://www.cbsnews.com/
Erdogan live
Whoever was asking about hospital news earlier, Sky news just said that a turkish official just said 150 people have been admitted to hospitals
>>59805
>13.3%
source?
Wikipedia says he won 52% in 2014
why the fuck does sky news keep cutting to their daily recap thing in the middle of an important bit of broadcast - they literally just did it in the middle of erdogan giving a statement
CNN confirms that Erdogan is now speaking, but they're not showing it live because they need time to translate.

Garbage people who can't use a PC that's why
>>59822
/pol/ caused the attacks amirite?
>>59824
would be nice if they could get someone who speaks Turkish too...
Erdogan is saying "they will meet with the harshest punishment" and the same shit he said before pretty much
but telling the story of how he got to Istanbul on his plane and who the military took hostage
he says "the military were being told what to do from Pennsylvania" and "they were trying to point a gun to your families"
trying to type from listening on TV
>>59802
The basic doctrine is that we are afraid of an attack on evros or the islands.so no offensive actions.the leadership of oura is castrated in following the american or EU policy.so i think nothing.
>>59825
Actually, on a democratic level, Erdogan was /pol/
>>59827
Thank you for this
>>59827
I'm asking myself, why they
1) haven't shot down his jet
2) haven't captured him at the airport
3) don't rain fire on Erdo by helicopter
>>59827
pennsylvania? I'm in Philadelphia can I be in charge of the next coup?
>Erdogan says the Army bombed where he stayed in Marmaris (holiday resort) after he left tonight.
Damn, close...
>>59827
thanks man, keep up the good work
>>59833
he's lying anon...
>>59831
He has air superiority
>>59827
who did they take hostage, any ranks/titles mentioned or just names?
CNN Turkey now under control of the pro-Erdogan crowds.
>>59827
>he says "the military were being told what to do from Pennsylvania"
Assuming your translation is accurate, does this mean Erdogan is implying that the US is orchestrating the coup? Also is he an idiot and think Pennsylvania is the capital of the US or is there something else in Pennsylvania that he's referring to?
>>59828
So basically, attack whoever attacked you.
Fair enough.
Doesn't seem you'll be seeing any action at any rate bro, so be glad of that.
>>59833
Poor fellas. If you want to do something properly, do it personally. Bombing never works... look at the guys who tried to kill Hitler...
>>59832
that's where fettullah gulen is allegedly staying and controlling the coup from

>>59837
If the military was divided amongst themself, their would be dog fights over Istanbul. So the attack planes were following Erdos orders?

no, he's referring to someone named fethullah gulen. Erdogan and his party call him a traitor because he supports terrorists and want him to come to Turkey

http://www.ydr.com/story/news/2016/07/15/turkey-coup-pennsylvania-cleric-erdogan-foe/87158206/
>Turkish government lawyer: US cleric had 'unlawful conduct'
>SCRANTON — As government officials and military forces clash in the streets of Ankara and elsewhere in Turkey, attention has turned to a reclusive Muslim cleric in Pennsylvania whom Turkey's president has long accused of orchestrating coup attempts.
>"(S)uspicion has fallen on Fethullah Gulen, a US..-based Turkish religious scholar and political enemy of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the strongman Turkish president," writes Steve LeVine at qz.com. "Until now, Erdogan had appeared to have crushed the 75-year-old Gulen, who has deep roots in the Turkish political, military, judicial, and media establishments, as well as in Muslim countries around the world. But if, as Erdogan himself has alleged, Gulen or his followers are involved in the putsch, then it demonstrates that he remains a force to contend with, though he has lived for years in seclusion in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania."
>The Turkish uprising comes just two weeks after a lawyer representing the Turkish government vowed to continue exposing what he calls the "unlawful conduct" of Gulen.
so this was basically a false flag coup to strengthen Erdogan's position in turkey? and to give turkey a reason to hate the west? why do the good guys keep losing?
>>59840
Same thing happened in the last tirkish coup in the 90s and in imia/karnak crisis.so yes nothing dramatic will happened except the people in the streets of turkey
>>59841
this.
thats why you gotta send in the special teams black ops
CNN's back, wish I spoke turkish

Pinkbro's back too, rejoice!
Oh shit, it looks like the pink shirt guy from earlier actually works there, and isn't just some random civilian.
>>59851
Somewhere in the CBS live stream I was listening to with one ear they mentioned that the navy and airforce for the most part stayed loyal.
of course you know Obama is letting this shit slide. He's probably there with Gulen telling him how to run that bitch...
>>59854
i think this is a record here on /noos/
>>59862
I mean I obviously could have coordinated this coup better than him so I want to meet him and teach him to do better

He's not actually in charge of anything. Dude's retired boogeyman.

https://i.4cdn.org/pol/1468632853325.webm
hory shit the attack helicopter did some damage
>>59874
his people put a statement out a while ago condemning the coup, if it is linked to him it's a group that broke away
>>59873
of course whether or not he is running the circus from Pennsylvania that is the story they are gonna push regardless someone needs to be blamed and why not blame it on us liberal christian fags
>>59876
Wow that guy's head is just gone...
Scary stuff

what the fuck
this is insane
>>59876
There goes my decision about going to sleep
>>59876
holy decrapetator...
but thats not helicopter 20mm canon, looks more like 7.62
So...how's the coup going thus far?
Man they say entertainment mediums desensitize you to this sort of stuff - but, fuck if I'm not horrified at that carnage
>>59876
Watching this while munching on last pizza slice.
Eh, whatever. Seen basically the same stuff in a vid from Nice earlier today.
>>59885
nobody really knows, istanbul seems to be under erdogan control after only a few hours, no news from the other cities
>>59885
:( over everywhere except in ankara. erdogan said he's gonna said in planes to take off the planes doing work in ankara
RT just posted a video on their twitter showing inside the Turkish Parliament as it was bombed https://twitter.com/RT_com/status/754128409949855745
Any live sources from Ankara?
>>59876
another rekt vid going into the folder..
>>59888
I can still hear jets going around. Just heard something like a gigantic orbital bass speaker go off.
>>59885
Crashed and burned.
The bad guys won m8
Why doesn't the military just shoot down Erdogan plane and get it over with?
>>59895
Erdoğan has landed already. He even gave a press conferance.
>>59890
>Hey Ivan, let's put scary music onder dis, vill proof ve are a serious news outlet.
>>59895
because the military is 100% behind Erdo and following his orders. There are probably no traitors.
>>59894
The CNN guy just casually said "I've been involved in coups before."
>>59895
false flag, that's why
>>59899
pretty impressive how quickly they've gone back to (relative) business as usual
>>59899
cbs was interviewing one of their guys earlier and he said he was in Turkey in a bar having a beer. Said he has no idea if he should rush to get out of the country, rush to istanbul, or what so he decided to have a brew. these guys are cool
>>59899
It's a traditional thing in Turkey from what I gathered.
>>59898
You think this is a false flag coup intended to be an excuse for Erdo to suspend democracy and instate himself as de facto monarch?
Honestly doesn't sound too far-fetched for Turkey.
I'm excited now. With this whole fiasco and Erdogan's triumph --while not complete, it is inevitable at this point-- we are going to see a lot of interesting reforms going on in Turkey. The rise of the neo-ottomans is at hand, God willing.
>>59906
Fuck dude. Will the Brits accept some more open minded Turks? How bout Trump? Will he let us in if we leave religion?
>Cannot unsee
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user92183/imageroot/HitlerErdogan.png
>>59906
You know that the neo-ottomans are the military, right?
looks like someone filmed the cnn turk takeover as it was happening, there's a live thing on their facebook (won't let me post as it thinks it's spam)
>>59905
it just seems strange that only one branch of the army conveniently instates a coup, tries really hard to make itself look as bad as possible, then gives up after a token effort. Not to mention Erdogan's speech about the military bombing his locations being entirely faked.
>>59903
holy shit. Hitler didn't die, nor did he got to Brazil.
He went to Turkey and used copious amounts of botox and skin moisturiser to stay somewhat young looking.. relatively speaking.
>>59908
i thought erdogan was pretty islamic conservatist since Gulen is all about open minded islam with dialog within the faith and focus on science and education n shit
what if this is all a reaction to that anti-radiohead protest thing a while ago??
>>59911
yeah we were watching it, basically nothing, they said they were about to be shut down by the military, they kept a stream of the studio open and nothing happened besides pro erdogan chanting mobs in the background and some intern taking phonecalls and preaching about erdogan on camera
Erdogan confirms that the General Secretary of the Presidency has been taken hostage
>>59921
source?
>>59919
Yeah i was the one who posted that stream, this is a separate thing - someone filming on their phone when the military turned up. I can't post it still as the filter thinks I'm spamming but go on their facebook page and it's a 12 min long fb live vid
>>59922
He gave a press conferance after he landed.
>>59923
CNN just showed an excerpt of the vid
>>59910
There was nothing secular about the ottomans, it was a self-declared caliphate after all, but there is everything secular about the military. If a form of ottoman style rules makes a comeback with a veneer 21st century democracy, it won't due to the military. It will be due to the AKP as they are the closest to being true neo-ottomans.
Is the fact that erdogan wanted to get refugee status in germany confirmed or just blabber from skynews?
>>59928
I'd say it was false, he flew north, circled a little and landed at İstanbul. Probably didn't need refugee.
>>59923
you just can't write facebook and then a link after it. write normiebook.anlkducfhabdfncaldkjfmh
>>59929
Seems like it was less escaping the country and more avoiding arrest be the coup antagonizers until events on the ground stabilized more.
God is with you Erdogan.
Need an update, is it over now?
>>59933
No, at the very least it will rumble on for a few days. Most news stations are already reporting on a likely failure though.
>>59933
I'd give it until tomorrow to be sure.
I think they're still fighting in Ankara.
>>59933
It's more or less dead, they needed to do more planning for it to really work.
A peaceful coup would be nice but then I realized I couldn't fap during the military government so I'm happy it's more or less over for now.
>>59876
collateral damage? Retaliation fire?
This shit fucks me up.
>>59938
nobody knows, probably collateral when trying to disperse a crowd
>>59930
okay then normiebook/cnnturk/videos/10157294590890106/
>go over to /pol/ because this thread has died for some reason
It's amazing how much better this board is compared to that one.
Anyway, updates pulled from there:
>reported gunship fire in Ankara
>fighting around parliament
>conflicting reports on who holds Ataturk airport
>>59952
Who is fighting
>>58856
>implying that being a turk is something to be proud of
lmfao you're subhuman trash, your bloodline was filled with subhuman trash before you and the continuation of the line will spawn only more subhuman trash
dunk yourself my fag
Only 42 dead in Ankara so far. Pretty good for an attempted coup.
So are all the traitorous generals going to be executed now?
>>59952
Man getting update from /pol/ is fucking terrible, though adding sources on /k/ it seems there's a possibility that the Navy just joined the coop, and that other dissident forces might be forced to hop on board because Erdogan is going to come get them regardless of their involvement.
More on CNN:
>42 dead in Ankara
>smoke over the city in the footage
>parliament fight was a helicopter vs police, most of the dead from the number above are police from this fight
>>59957
>traitorous generals going to be executed
tbqh we should just bomb the country out of existence
it's like a source for all scum
that and all of saudi arabia.
>>59952
>>59954
you'll have to lurk a bit to understand the thread but the syria general threads on /pol/ are probably the best for this going forward. they're very invested into the turkey, kurd, isis, russia, saudi, US involvement over there and have some of the best sources.
they're very pro assad but some turks show up and give opposing views
