Military Coup in Turkey?

[ThoughtContro...]

Large amounts of military activity being reported on Twitter. Videos of low flying F16s over Ankara, bridges to the Bosphorus closed, something is afoot.

Drill, anti-terrorist lockdown or Putsch?

With everyone distracted by the Nice attack it's a good day for the military to clean house with minimal external fuss.

Turkey soldiers launch 'illegal action' - PM Yildirim

Turkey's PM has denounced an "illegal action" by a military "group", with bridges closed in Istanbul and aircraft flying low over the capital, Ankara.
Binali Yildirim said the military action was not authorised but it was not a coup. He said that the government remained in charge.
Traffic has been stopped from crossing both the Bosphorus and Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridges in Istanbul.
There are also reports of gunshots in the capital Ankara.
Mr Yildirim told NTV television by telephone: "We are working on the possibility of an attempt. We will not allow this attempt." He did not elaborate.
"Those who are in this illegal act will pay the highest price," he added, saying it would not be correct to describe the move as a "coup".

You shouldn't mock Pravda, they were probably waiting for someone upstairs to give them their official spin on the story.

Even our own intelligence agencies don't recommend the BBC for up to date news

BBC has it that Erdogan is away on holiday in the med... guess we will find out in a few hours if he's actually going to make it home.

might be easier to have them fedex his stuff over, pretty sure merkel will let him claim asylum, seems a legit case for once

That's a lovely bridge,what's it called.

Military claims to have taken control, but there are videos of soldiers being arrested and carted off. Army don't seem to have the numbers so I suspect it has failed.

[ThoughtContro...]

After remaining in a holding pattern to the West for some time Erdogan's private jet has just landed at Ataturk Airport.

It might well be over.

There are still airstrikes taking place and a raid of another news agency. The army do seem to have really small numbers so I can't see them winning against the cops.

[CaNsA]

Sky News are total fucking retards.

"FlightRadar24 shows tanks at the airport".

But lets take a look at a couple other airport around the world, because surely if there are tanks in that pic then there must be tanks all over place.

OOOOO Look at JFK, there's a sneaky tank.

Looks like shit is going down in Amsterdam

Y'know because it's impossible that airport maintenance ground vehicles would ever be used.

[Im-a-Ridah]

Continued air strikes is very strange. Generally speaking only one group can control the airspace, since any unauthorised flights tend to get shot down by fighter jets on air policing alert.

If those strike jets aren't being shot down then the government has lost control of the air policing (i.e fighters, radars, military ground control).

News 24 was quite amusing, 2 newsreaders at one point, trying to fill. No idea about anything that was going on.

Then I went back to playing Skyrim, and listened to Radio Five Live, who had a master plan. Do the same, but sound confident.
