Priory_of_Sion Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Erdogan blames the coup on the Gulen movement, which I find odd, and wants to begin cleansing the military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priory_of_Sion Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Photos shows that several soldiers were beheaded. That'll show those against Justice and Development! Still wanting to know what this military faction's ideology is wether it was Gulenist or extreme anti-Erdogan secularists or ultranationalists (which seems unlikely b/c of grey wolves seem anti-coup) or whoever.

LoooSeR Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Apperently coup was made by group of middle-level officers from different branches of army and military forces, some of gendarmes were also involved. They failed in delivering message to people why they are doing this. Nobody currently knows for sure why attempted coup was started. Second mistake of this coup - Erdogan is still alive.

Scolopax Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I see a good amount of people (news website comments and social media) taking to the idea that this was all planned by Erdogan as a means of consolidating power and providing a reason for ousting political opponents and dissenters.

Same, I don't personally think this is a false flag, but Erdogan isn't going to let a crisis not help him in stealing more power. Never know though, the Turkish "Deep State" is shady as hell.

LoooSeR Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 This coup attempt is very unlikely to be Erdogan's work. Too many were killed and too many big heads/noticeable people are going to jail or even executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
