Telling civilians to flood the streets in the midst of a cup strikes me as utterly temerary.

Failed military coup in Turkey; Erdogan promising swift reprisal

I'm from Turkey. Islamism wins if this coup fails. Turkey loses.
Pro or Con, why are people going out on the street? It's not even known what pro or con means in this case, so why create even more chaos when you don't know what is happening in the first place? Or are people basing their idea of the coup on that one statement saying this was about instating freedom and such?
the last part is news to me. I know that there are diplomatic tensions between Germany and Turkey, but still, Erdogan is a democratically elected leader and not a criminal despot fleeing the country looking for a safe haven

Luckily? Are you f'ing kidding me? You'd rather have an islamic state run by a dictator, implementing laws that impede human rights and normal values?
You get what you deserve I guess.
I'll refrain from saying what I really want to say because I dont want to be banned.

Turkey will never be secular I dunno why anyone is wasting their time most of my family/ relatives live by cherry picked Islam (they are not alone in doing this), drink raki then claim to be Müslüman when it fits them. I even saw people harassing a Turkish twitch streamer who was no fasting during Ramadan and just.

From reading the thread a coup sounds like the best case scenario.
There were a minimum of victims until Erdogan called out his fans... then when he did, his partisans began to take action and force the army to respond.
Yoo wtf

""Wow it sounds Islamic and thus it terrifies me and the anti-coup population is fucking insane"", dakun says.
The bridge seems pretty fine live on TV. Speaking about knowing shit and talking.

It was the only way to remove one of the most dangerous presidents of our time. Very well done.
Yes this is what I see happening as well. The absolute best result would be the coup succeeding. Erdogan surviving this and being emboldened against the Kemalists..
I'm sorry but bye bye Turkey. Another Middle Eastern country.
Jesus, holy fuck.
Doesn't mean he's a good President. There was a thread here on GAF from a Turk living in a region that used to have a thriving tourist industry. Shit's fucked, yo.
Rumours on twitter being that Fethullah Gülen is the apparent mastermind of coup or factions close to him.
He currently lives in self-imposed exile in the United States, residing in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.
Looks like a wax statue.
Helicopters firing.. kids swinging at a playground. Surreal.

This. I really doubt Gülan would be any worse than the short-tempered egomaniac that Erdogan is. Erdogan is literally trying to establish a dictatorship and he is supplying frickin' ISIS with guns and ammunition for christ's sake.

Sky news cuts from feed when shooting starts.
CNN starts talking about how people are getting shot.

I don't know what's crazier: The shots or the kids casually swinging on a swing-set during all this shit.
I'd be under my goddamn bed.

What's on cnn now?
What is it? safe to click?
That was my first thought actually, lol. I guess tomorrow the picture will be clearer or in the coming weeks at least.
It boggles my mind that this was even suggested.
