He clearly has minimum control of the military if this is his play

Honestly, this is exactly what it seems like.

some guy got on the cnn turck live feed and is saying something

 

[Steel]

Who the fuck is this guy on CNN Turk?

 

[GameAddict411]

Stay safe turkey gaf! Please leave the country if you can at least temporarily.

Stream for the Turk CNN, there is speaking but I can't understand..

Edit-There was some speaking over the chants....

wtf, who's the guy

 

[Frustrated_me]

I don't think that is live.

That is the exact same background as over an hour or more ago.

I think it's a recording.

You know that's what I also thought too..

 

[Zamorro]

Erdogan, you disgusting goat fucker.

 

[ferrasvansen]

He fucking planned this, clear as fuck, down to the last part, destroying the parliament so he gets full control, watch the next few days.

 

[Aeriscloud]

Holy Hell stream has 100,000,000 viewers

18k on Youtube and climbing fast.

 

[Frozenprince]

He's going to dissolve parliament next while assuming supreme executive power.

Watch.

 

[BigAl1992]

What's the guy on CNN turk saying?

 

[DSN2K]

we need translater for CNN turk guy!!!

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Can't Erdogan just take the putschists down by now if he did have total control? This can be over in an hour if most of the military was loyal.

 

[Obliterator]

Probably on high alert, though it would be incredibly stupid for any force to even approach them.

An attack would lead to immediate retaliation/annihilation I'd imagine from combined aerial and naval forces in the area who can rapidly respond.

Edit: Edrogan on TV https://www.canlitvizle.io/fox-turkiye

Yeah anyone would have to be out of their minds to approach the US base

 

[Pancake Mix]

Erdogan is a horrific tyrant with no shame.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

I wish I had brainwashed idiots doing my dirty work.

 

[StopMakingSense]

is this the beginning of something awful like a small world war? There are nukes in Turkey ffs.

American nukes at American bases Nothing is going to happen to them. It is literally impossible.

I am living in Istanbul and can still hear copter sounds.

and yet people in this thread gushing over these coup guys behind the safety of their monitors

knowing what is best for a country that they don't live in

 

[WordsintheWater]

Erdogan being a piece of absolute shit should surprise no one. He doesn't care about his people all he cares about is control, fuck this dude. Sending civilians to go against tanks, wtf would be the result you fucking coward?

 

[Zona]

It's not odd. The Turkish military has always safeguarded the constitution of secularism. Unfortunately this time it's starting to look like they acted too late.

I don't mean any criticism, it's odd in that it's one of very few states where that's been true.

 

[Chaos17]

Erdogan is live and he is ordering his followers to go out and resist.

Not this again, doesn' thave a heart for his people ? Where is he when they're in danger down the street to be able to say that ? *sad*

#prayforturkey

 

[His Majesty]

someone tell the CNN Turk guy to speak English (and a bit louder)

edit: nvm understood it already

CNN Turk stream for anyone that missed it. Something is going down.

 

[Diancecht]

Jesus, he's fucking throwing them under the bus.

DO NOT FUCKING GO OUTSIDE. This has turned into full on conflict, don't be so stupid!

He neither cares about pro-Erdogan nor anti-Erdogan people. He only cares about himself. His people going out and fighting against the army would only strengthen his "cause" .

 

[KurtSloane]

Images of Erdogan at airport among the crowd.

 

[mo60]

According to the reddit live page for this event Erodogan's whereabouts are still unknown and what is currently showing on TV is a past recording of the guy.

It looks like he has finally appeared.

 

[icespide]

don't read the youtube livechat good god

 

[orochi91]

He fucking planned this, clear as fuck, down to the last part, destroying the parliament so he gets full control, watch the next few days.

Wasn't Ankara just captured by the Pro-coup faction?

How is Erdogan gonna win this?

 

[Nokagi]

Wish I knew what this guy was saying

 

[DrBo42]

The factions aligned with the coup have total air superiority.

If his plane was allowed to land, be attacked, then take off again, it speaks to this being a planned measure by himself and his party to dismantle the constitution and parliament ala the Nazi's bombing the Reichstag.

This. Looking very sketchy right now. Doesn't make sense.

 

[Condom]

Breaking news in the smartphone age is fucking surreal

It is like you are watching a movie, history documented and well

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

How many tanks could god take on?

 

[lazygecko]

If Erdogan gets through this, he can enjoy his pariah state.

 

[Frozenprince]

He's murdering his own people. He's destroying his own government.

He's a dictator destroying everybody and everything he can to assume total power.

This will not end well.

President Erdogan arrives in Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, welcomed by huge civilian crowd

 

[cirrhosis]

don't read the youtube livechat good god

that's like a basic rule of thumb all the time

 

[kanuuna]

Fox shows helicopters firing in Ankara. Looks bad.

 

[MassiveNights]

There is a guy on the CNN turk stream

 

[ferrasvansen]

Wasn't Ankara just captured by the Pro-coupe faction?

How is Erdogan gonna win this?

The people will do it for him, checkmate.

 

[Kralamoonard]

Yeah Erdogan telling people to go out and fight is downright disgusting but come on people, some of the posts here are verging on crazy conspiracies. Turkey economy is going to crash after this as tourism will be pretty much non existent. Let's just wait for facts rather than speculation.

Not sure how long it'll take.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Erdogan exiting car at airport apparently.

https://twitter.com/BNONews?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

What is he doing? If the airport got bombed recently why is he going outside like that?

 

[KurtSloane]

According to the reddit live page for this event Erodogan's whereabouts are still unknown and what is currently showing on TV is a past recording of the guy.

He is at Istanbul airport, images on reddit live thread.

Not the recording from earlier.

@drewscanlon This guy is now saying that the soldiers have been arrested by police forces.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

I don't agree with shooting civvies...

 

[mercenar1e]

Erdogan is at the airport just chilling and no tanks, helicopters, jets or military intercepts him? this shit is fishy.

How can you even read it? It's going by so fast I can't make much out.

 

[Frozenprince]

Give it a week.

Parliament will be dissolved.

Watch.

 

[metalslimer]

Well this will either turn into a large civil war or brutal authoritarian regime once Erdogan regains control
