Turkey Attempted Military Coup

[Mortblanc]

Turkey borders Syria, Iraq and the Soviet Union. They are beset with instability in their society and have no room for messing about with feel good philosophy. The military is the most stable platform they have to operate with, but this coup is not the "overthrow" publicized at this point.

Very disorganized and led by a low level "legal advisor" to a minister, who is only a .Col. Neither the Air force or the Navy is supporting the coup and only a small faction of the Army so far.

At least that is the news I am getting here on Friday night.

But even if unsuccessful it will give the regular forces time to make arrests, clear the streets and make a lot of decenters and suspected terrorists evaporate as well as giving TPTB a chance to sort things out while declaring Martial Law and ignoring the politically correct to insure some continued stability.
