The beheading of the 11 year old boy by the "moderates" supported by Obama was a tragedy, what is about to happen in Turkey will be a statistic.
Turkish parliament votes to lift MPs' immunity from prosecution AP | May 20, 2016
EXCERPTS:
Turkey’s parliament has approved a bill to amend the constitution to strip MPs of immunity from prosecution, a move that paves the way for the trials of pro-Kurdish and other opposition legislators.
(...)
The amendment was proposed by the Justice and Development party after the president accused the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic party (HDP) of being an arm of outlawed Kurdish rebels and repeatedly called for their prosecution on terror-related charges. It puts 138 politicians, the vast majority of them from two opposition parties, at risk of prosecution.
(...)
The decision coincides with a wave of violence in Turkey’s south-east following the collapse of a more-than-two-year peace process between the state and the outlawed Kurdistan Worker’s party (PKK).
The HDP, which backs Kurdish and other minority rights, denies accusations that it is the political arm of the PKK, considered a terrorist group by Ankara and its allies. The party has urged the government to end security operations in the south-east and to resume peace efforts.

Right, saw the flying gunship firing into a large crowd on the night of the coup, so this is just setting their standard.
Quite similar to Hitler’s implementation of a dictatorship.
Going full Castro.
Tomorrow I fully expect a call to march back to the gates of Vienna. LOL!
Just kick them out of NATO and let the place burn. Maybe a joint Greek, Bulgarian,Romanian and Russia force will occupy Constantinople and European Turkey as a “safe zone” from all of the hell that is about to break loose.
Let the Kurds have there way with the eastern part.
MP’s voted to cut their own throats ?

When you throw in Erdogan’s round up of judges and teachers, it looks like he’s following in the footsteps of Pol Pot.
I don’t see how this should prevent them from membership in the EU.
Erdogan has to be in the top five of any good Antichrist watch list.
It’s okay: Shariah law is so much better than Western human rights conventions, so don’t worry. :)
The silence of Erdogan’s actions, whether he staged the coup or not, is very troubling. The news blackout on our US bases even more so. While we’re distracted by the Republican convention this week, some very serious things are going on in Turkey that truly affect us rather directly.
It’ll be easier to elicit confessions from coup plotters now.
There us a large Christian community, largely Eastern Rite Catholics, in southern Turkey, centered on Adana, Mersin, Anatolia.
They are very much at risk.
