Probably Erdogan knows there’s a faction against him and organized a “coup” to kill off more opposition.
That’s what it’s looking like.
Worst possible outcome if the coup fails. Ergodan will use it as the excuse to complete his purge and make every islamist reform he wanted to make. And because of the “anti-democratic” nature of the coup the EU and everyone will give him a free hand. Including with the Kurds.
False flag/Reichstag fire anyone?
