If only we had such an Army ourselves. They always step up.

By:
No one from outside turkey has condemned the coup!!??
|
|
By:
The Yanks very very quiet..
|
|
By:
is Theresa going to make a statement.Why has the new government not said anything.
|
|
By:
Erdogan is dangerous. A spot of miltary rule suits all parties. And the Turks know the score - this has happened a few times before.
|
|
By:
ffs tanks heading to face those on the bridge
|
|
By:
It's Boris's department
|
|
By:
This is turning serious now. There is going to be bloodshed.

|
By:
I shall look forward to a Turkish Colonel continuing EU accession negotiations.
|

By:
erdogan is a buddy of Barrick.
Well theres a massive shock |
|
By:
Boris should be on UK tv telling people that the british in Turkey better be in safe hands or they will have to deal with him.
|
|
By:
Sturgeon on tv right now saying this could trigger indyref2.
|
|
By:
so according to reports ,the military are winning ,and Barrick is Edrogans buddy so I guess the yanks are in the air at this moment.
(this is only my opinion) |
|
By:
3 possible outcomes here IMO
1. The coup completely succeeds within 48hrs. 2. Erdogan fully back in control within 48hrs. 3. The biggest Civil War since China in the 1940s |
|
By:
tobes, the turkish are generally on the side of the military on these occasions, that has certainly been the case on the last few occasions.
|
|
By:
Valadmir has warned that everyone better make sure that any Russians in turkey better not get harmed,while Ban k Moon has said time for cool heads,while Boris has said nothing.
|
|
By:
What is Boris supposed to say please? You want him to send gunboats to Istanbul, like Palmerston?
|
|
By:
Turkey to turn into another Syria?
|
|
By:
That won't happen.
|
|
By:
Wa-hey ! More refugees for Europe ! So Turkey does join the EU after all.
|
|
By:
There's one guess.
|
|
By:
There won't be any refugees.

Boris should be on air and talking about the british people in turkey at the moment and tell everyone they british government are keeping an eye on develements as they happen.
|
|
By:
Kurds may see this as a chance to take ground
|
|
By:
Turkey is very divided though. Erdogan wins basically fair elections quite decisively , with his support coming from religious people in rural areas.
He is hated in the big cities by the mostly secular people who live in them. It's not the same as previous coups overthrowing undemocratic leaders. |
|
By:
Just curious is the democratic vote a religious vote in Turkey?
|
|
By:
Erdogan has a lot of support, not in Istanbul , but if the coup is only in control of cities there will be war.
|
|
By:
None of the leaders overthrown in Turkey have been undemocratic.
|
|
By:
They have all been elected governments. The Army protects the constitution.

|
By:

Interesting times. |
|
By:
Brass ,Boris is probably Pished drunk and thinking HTF do I get out of this job

By:
