Big article the other day on how the Young Turks of the Moslem movement/government have been clamping down on the Old Turks of the military, thus gutting it of leaders who could oppose an Islamic dictatorship.
The author was of the opinion that it is too late now for the military to stage a coup.
Forgot who wrote the article but it may have been from the British press.
I think it would depend on how serious the troops were willing to get.
