Sounds like shit is going down for real.  I'll get to see my first Turkish military coup.  :)

It's kind of a requirement in their constitution, isn't it? That if the Prime Minister starts to try to make the country non-secular, the military is supposed to stage a coup to oust him/her. Yes?

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

It's strange that I'm actually rooting for the Turkish military here. But I am not sure they are going to succeed...

I am pretty sure they will not succeed. But either way this is going to get really ugly.

Let's hope is true. Erdogan is really, really, really not the right guy for Turkey in these turbulent times

How much popular support can there be expected for the military in this situation?

Too early to have any legit information but everything I'm reading suggests only a small portion of the military is involved, which means it is probably doomed to fail.

I wouldn't put it past Erdogan to have staged a "Reichstag fire" style coup so he can come back and increase his power even further, maybe this time aimed at weakening the rest of the military.

Looks like Languish may get what it wants.  Maybe a lot of people will die as well.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
