Thank you. That was my point. This could be a good thing. Much like what happened in Egypt. Erdogan is a Muslim Brotherhood dude, I think. Sad day for Barkey.

Good news.

Quite a few people are confused about the actual situation in Turkey and the historic role of the military in the secular nation established by Ataturk.

Some colonel was just going nuts on the Howie Carr Show saying you never want the military to overthrow an elected government. Yes we do.

Very good news if the military ousts Erdogan and returns Turkey to a more secular form of government with more individual freedom and tolerance for all religions.

Reuters reports Erdogan office claims he is safe...reports say he will address nation shortly

He may be "addressing" the nation the same way Mussolini did that last time.

My BIL just called his sister in his home town on the Black Sea and they don’t know what’s happening either as government claims still in power and military claims the same.

Rest assured our “friends” the Saudis... you know the country that attacked us on September 11th, 2001?

Anyway, they will be VERY UPSET that their Proxy Army ISIS (aka Al-Qaeda) is about to lose is supply chain from the North.

Say bye bye to their gas pipe line.

I expect Saudi Arabia to do something crazy.

If the military in Turkey is overthrowing the Islamists then we can count on Obama to use military force to put the Islamists back in control.

The Turkish military has historically “taken over” when the government strayed too far from its role as established in the Turkish constitution.
