I'd expect a lot more Generals rather than Colonels/Majors on the arrest lists if it was them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Priory_of_Sion 917 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Erdogan seems to want to execute the coup plotters and thus bring back the death penalty in Turkey. Probably not a great development for anyone is opposition to Erdogan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
