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.
Just come back to this interesting news! OK, we should definitely support Kemalists. Better than the alternative.
ReplyDeleteWe Mustafa the Kemalists!
DeleteA coup can only be a good thing, despite Urban's blinkered attempts to derogate the perpetrators. Another small BBC mind framing the world to suit his mentality.
