EU source says Turkey coup bid looks substantial, 'not just a few colonels' http://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-security-eu-idUSKCN0ZV2NEA coup attempt in Turkey involves a substantial part of the military and "not just a few colonels", a European Union source monitoring events in the EU candidate country said on Friday.
"It looks like a relatively well orchestrated coup by a substantial body of the military, not just a few colonels," the source told Reuters.
"They?ve got control of the airports and are expecting control over the TV station imminently," the source said, shortly before state television TRT broadcast a military declaration of martial law.
"They control several strategic points in Istanbul. Given the scale of the operation, it is difficult to imagine they will stop short of prevailing," the source said. |

The Turkish Army has been the guarantor of Turkish secularism since Ataturk. Erdogan has been purging the military of the secularists and replacing them with "the faithful". Looks like the Army's had enough.

Turkey has been under the control of the military for many years. The civilian leaders are nothing more than figureheads.

At least 161 killed, scores wounded as Turkish military attempts couphttp://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/07/16/at-least-161-killed-scores-wounded-as-turkish-military-attempts-coup.htmlTurkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed he is in control of the country early Saturday as loyal military and police forces quashed a coup attempt during a night of explosions, air battles and gunfire that left scores dead and more than 1,000 wounded.
ADVERTISEMENT
Turkish Prime Minister Benali Yildirim revised the number of dead in the clashes to 161. Acting chief of staff Gen. Umit Dundar said earlier that among those dead were police officers, soldiers, civilians and more than 100 described as ?coup plotters.?
Dundar said that officers from the Air Force, military police and the armored units were mainly involved in the coup attempt.
Erdogan, who flew home early Saturday, vowed that coup supporters "will pay a heavy price for their treason to Turkey."

Defiant Turks fight back: Stunning scenes as brave citizens rise up against failed military coup, dragging cowering soldiers from their tanks and beating them in the streets - amid fears of fresh uprisinghttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3693268/Defiant-masses-fight-Stunning-scenes-brave-citizens-rise-against-attempted-military-coup-dragging-cowering-soldiers-tanks-beating-streets.htmlDefiant Turkish civilians reclaimed the country from their own military after helping to end a coup by the army to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who called on people to remain on the streets today over fears over a fresh uprising.
Ordinary Turks confronted rifle-wielding soldiers, climbed atop tanks and laid in front of military vehicles in an effort to take back control of the country, ignoring a curfew issued by coup plotters designed to allow the army to bring down the government unopposed.
President Erdogan called on people to take to the streets, leading to reports of groups of soldiers surrendering at several key locations in Ankara and Istanbul, including Bosphorus Bridge, where 100 rebels laid down their arms and submitted themselves to advancing civilians and police officers.
This morning the President used Twitter to call on supporters to prevent any additional military action, adding: 'We should keep on owning the streets no matter at what stage because a new flare-up could take place at any moment.'
Some 104 plotters were killed after a coup attempt to bring down the Turkish government, while 160 people - at least 41 of them police and 47 civilians - fell as 'martyrs'.
Throughout the night, supporters of Erdogan threw themselves in front of tanks at key landmarks to prevent the military from maintaining a stranglehold on the country, notably outside Ataturk airport in Istanbul, where some civilians lodged themselves under the wheels of tanks to stop them from advancing.
More than 2,800 rebels have been detained after their failed military coup that killed at least 250 and wounded more than 1,500, with Erdogan vowing revenge for the bloody uprising. Horrible it didn't succeed.

The real question here is which side is right? Which side supports ISIS? I am not sure. I have read where the current government has covertly supported ISIS. And if they have done this, why are they still part of NATO?
I think having an islamic state as part of NATO is dangerous. Time will tell. I know Turkey has been allied with the USA in delaing with the USSR during the Cold War, but ISIS is without question the enemy of western civilization.
