Erdogan exiting car at airport apparently.

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

looks fake and propaganda to me

 

[Smokey_Run]

I got a real bad feeling about the future of this CNN Turk stream..

 

[bluelightningduo]

don't read the youtube livechat good god

First thing I saw was "Free Tom Brady"

 

[Glix]

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

While the rest of the govt is getting blown up. Super suspicious

 

[Majukun]

Erdogan is ordering his people out into the street right now to fight the military to the death.

He planned this.

so he somehow convinced a big part of his military force to just sacrifice themselves (since they will be charged with treason and probably lost their head,or at best prison for life or something) just to gibe himself more power?
doesn't sound too convincing to me

 

[DiipuSurotu]

This is Darth Sidious levels of planning

 

[jm89]

Looks like the coup have lost control of the cnn building.

Crowds chanting Allahu Akbar outside CNN .

Is CNN turk in ankara?

 

[Frustrated_me]

The Coup should have arrested Erdogan and shut off all TV.

 

[Cub3h]

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.

Something something Reichstag.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Erdogan calling for citizens to go fight in the streets is disgusting

It also makes me question the narrative that this is anywhere close to over.

Indefensible. He's either desperate, insane, or hoping for civil war.

That picture can be from anywhere. Looks like a screen capture, so where's the video?

 

[StormKing]

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.

Tourism already decreased greatly over the past year.

 

[Corpsepyre]

So.....who is this guy on CNN Turk again? Was chanting Allah-Hu-Akbar a while back.

Are we actually sure this is legit?

 

[~Kinggi~]

CNN Turk live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO0g09LfbNQ

this is scary as fuck

 

[Elfforkusu]

"My political power is more important than your lives."

 

[KurtSloane]

This is Darth Sidious levels of planning

Wow you guys need more tinfoil, this is just a poorly planned and executed coup.

They have strengthened Erdogan by their incompetency.

Is CNN turk in ankara?

It's in Istanbul, apparently.

 

[reckless]

Really wish i knew what pink shirt guy was saying on CNN turk.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Erdogan's current status is real, real, real suspicious.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

Wait WTF? so he's purposely trying to get push civilians into the line of fire?

Guy started a war with the Kurds/PKK for no reason after 4 years of peace just to get re-elected, giving no shits how many soldiers, Kurds and civilians get killed in the proccess.

Erdogan gives 0 shits how many people die as long as he stays on top.

That bastard is literally forcing the coup forces to fire on civilians.

 

[His Majesty]

Man got hit by a tank

Why would you willingly step in front of a moving tank...?

 

[Quirah]

So.....who is this guy on CNN Turk again? Was chanting Allah-Hu-Akbar a while back.

Probably a civilian. As I read on Twitter from one CNN workers account soldiers and workers are on first floor. Others are just civil people

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

The Coup should have arrested Erdogan and shut off all TV.

Yea, they completely botched the initial stages of this.

Now they are trying to play catch up

 

[commedieu]

Wow you guys need more tinfoil, this is just a poorly planned and executed coup.

Yeah. And they aren't shooting at him.

Istanbul.

 

[cirrhosis]

this is scary as fuck

i'm afraid pink shirt dude is gonna be murked

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

Drew Scanlon stepping up as New Scoops?

 

[Kralamoonard]

Why would you willingly step in front of a moving tank...?

Why would you run over a civilian?

 

[Lkr]

Something something Reichstag.

Did any large scale damage happen?

 

[Starfield]

I think Erdogan is dead and they are trying to hide it

#conspiracy

 

[Steel]

Wow you guys need more tinfoil, this is just a poorly planned and executed coup.

They have strengthened Erdogan by their incompetency.

Sadly, yes. This is probably accurate.

Actually, the other possible scenario is that there's a civil war. Which would be much worse.

 

[LNBL]

So.....who is this guy on CNN Turk again? Was chanting Allah-Hu-Akbar a while back.

Looks like a reporter, he knew where to some of those microphones or something.

Can we just make it clear that chanting that certain phrase is very common within Islam and should not automatically be linked to the deranged idiots who say it when commiting cowardice acts of terror.

 

[Frozenprince]

It's over there is no catch up.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

Why would you willingly step in front of a moving tank...?

Because prophet erdogan said so?

 

[Catatafish]

Does anybody if the guy with pink shirt was neutral or was he pro coup?

 

[MetatronM]

MSNBC showing a translation of Erdogan's TV appearance.

 

[GameAddict411]

The CNN turk live stream is creepy as fuck.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Now is this coup real or staged,
If staged was it really worth it to sacrifice civilians?

 

[cirrhosis]

I think Erdogan is dead and they are trying to hide it

#conspiracy

that would certainly be something - something really bad

 

[orochi91]

If Ankara is captured, then it's checkmate, right?

The Pro-Coup faction should pour all effort in capturing the capital if they wish to succeed.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Yea, they completely botched the initial stages of this.

Now they are trying to play catch up

They seem like they did well in Ankara but not so much in Istanbul.. They should not have allowed Erdogan to speak.

 

[KurtSloane]

Yeah. And they aren't shooting at him.

They aren't near him.

Believe what you like, seems really far out and unrealistic.

Plotters fucked up, didn't have broad support and the people weren't with them, doomed to fail and have made him stronger.

 

[SuperSah]

Now is this coup real or staged,
If staged was it really worth it to sacrifice civilians?

How do you mean staged?

 

[everyday math]

Now is this coup real or staged,
If staged was it really worth it to sacrifice civilians?

If it's staged lets just say. They could careless about casualties.

But that's entering tin foil hat territory.

 

[Heshinsi]

It's over there is no catch up.

Don't know about that. They seem to be having better success in Ankara, and seemingly have air superiority.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

It's over there is no catch up.

yes, this is what I've said a while ago. Once you're at the "well we're not sure if it's over", then you have failed in your coup.

Doesn't mean this event is over.

 

[TheRealTalker]

more and more civilian deaths by these coup 'heroes' but of course you know this is all for the greater good right?

 

[commedieu]

They aren't near him.

Believe what you like, seems really far out and unrealistic.

Plotters fucked up, didn't have broad support and the people weren't with them, doomed to fail and have made him stronger.

So his jet didn't land? With f16s scrambling...?

 

[Einchy]

That video of civilians dead in the streets and that man being run over by a tank are insane. I've never seen anything like this in my life before and in real time.
