What the fuck....?

It's not 100% confirmed, from what I've read, but... wtf, is this for real? In a NATO country?

This may affect quite a lot what's going to happen with the refugees trying to reach Europe...

And I don't want to think what's in the hearths of those preparing to go to Turkey this summer (or they're there)...

[InvoKing]

The army there (or at least a part of it) couldn't let few years passes without making a coup, wondering how it will be its number now if it will succeed? 5? 6?
Funny part you see some people who supports the democracy support this coup!

Was my 2nd though. But erdogan just apologized to putin/russia.

And yes the coup is real. It is going viral in the internet and tv right now.

It is just unknown if majority of the military supports the coup.

Erdogan is hiding right now and calls the turkish population to resist the military coup.

[protokol]

I wonder who's helping the military in Turkey? I know there's been many coups in the last 50 years, but this seems serious.

I reckon American agencies such as the CIA have something to do with this, maybe even EU agencies?

I have no evidence, but a military takeover of Turkey and the overthrow of Erdogan would be beneficial for America and the EU, and both have the power to influence this sort of action...

EDIT: I don't mean direct help such as troops/tanks, more like indirect communications. Statements made to the military commanders such as: "If you stage a coup, the West will support you in overthrowing Erdogan".

[protokol]

Erdogan makes statement telling Turks to rise up against the coup.

Just heard that the military has complete control of Turkey now. General is being held hostage.
All this happening within last 24 hours is very disturbing.
So does this indeed mean that Turkey will become an islamic state ruled by the Turkish army?

No the opposite.

Yes, exactly this. The Turkish army are staging this coup in opposition to Erdogans radical muslim values, they generally favour secularism and democracy. This is why I think the US and/or the EU may have something to do with it.

The West is on the side of the military here.

[countryfree]

Oh, good! I hope that ugly muslim terrorist of Erdogan will be jailed. The army can only make Turkey better. It was Ataturk who turned Turkey into a modern country and Erdogan who pushed the country back to muslim stone age.

[protokol]

The Police are also being targeted by the military as the police are traditionally Erdogan supporters and hold his extreme values. That is the reason for the gunfights and clashes between these two groups.

I dont know supporting a military coup in an allied nation is something ridiculous ugh....

Dont forget that erdogan was voted in by majority of the turks (even though there voting laws are hard for the opposition)

[JogerMax]

What a sad day for Turkey, i hope that inocente people do not get hurt.  The world is to much dangerous nowsday.
War do not solve anything. People must talk aka negotiate !

Was that before or after he put all opposing journalists in jail? I always mix up things there...

And risk being jailed for insulting Erdogan?!

  Just another game and attempt  made by Fethullah Gulen supporters in army the man who has reactions with Hillary Clinton also and asked to be returned back to Turkey from USA.They attempted the coup after the announce of an operation will be started by Turkish Police against these terrorist group. They just tried to make chaos but people took their flags and standed against them after Recep Tayyip Erdogan's call and Turkish police now started to arrest the military members who attempted for coup and also a helicopter of army is destroyed.Just was a show tonight well organised and marketed by central media who works for profit of elites and politicians but had no result for them
