Military Attempts Coup in Turkey, Prime Minister Says

soo......do they want to go back to being Constantinople?
I think this whole thing is going to go bad. Erdogan is going to hang onto power and use this coup as an excuse to become even more of a dictator. And so Turkey becomes an Islamic Republic.
Coup soldiers have taken control of CNN Turk, which is their national station in the country.
Ankara is pretty dark, which suggests the Coup might have been successful there. And that's key. If they took Ankara, they'll eventually take everything else.

Who pushes the button first?
Very strategic piece of land. Has been that way for Centuries. The gateway between Europe and Asia. Russian fleet needs to pass through Turkish territory (Bosphorus) to reach their troops in Syria (naval base at Tartus). Those ships have to pass through Istanbul. NATO uses bases throughout Turkey. We use them directly.
Turkish government has been increasingly pushing towards an Islamic government. Military is held by Constitutional Decree to uphold secularism. Government policies towards the military in the past decade have been building towards this point. Crap finally hit the fan tonight.
I guarantee you it won't be the president we have. He's probably too spineless to even conversation about the button.. We need to invite them to sit down and discuss our differences politically. Meanwhile people are fighting for a cause they believe in..
Canik is on the other side of the country. It's also directly on the water. Same for Girsan, though it's even further away.
