Breaking news....breaking news....



Is the Turkish army staging a coup against the "wankerer...from Ankara" (to avenge the honour of Turkey's goats perhaps)?

Gulp.

Unlikely to succeed. 'Interesting times'. 

Update, 22:34. Mark Urban on Newsnight suggests it's the colonels and brigadiers trying to seize power. James O'Brien suggest it might lead to civil war. 

22:37. Mark is wondering: is it (Islamist) Gülenists or (secular) Kemalists? He reckons it's Kemalists.

22:38. Newsnight's guest, Ibrahim Dogus - quite obviously an opponent of President Erdogan - suggests it's Gülenists, Kemalists and others joining together.
