Military Coup in Turkey underway

[addictionary]

Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Libya... The list goes on and on...

I honestly can't think of a single case where a coup actually brought on positive results.

Can anyone point to where a coup triggered the desired result? I can't.

The 1960 coup in Turkey was a forward one against a party that led the country backwards.

It was made by a cooperation of some high rank soldiers and scholars.

It was the only coup in Turkey that had the potential to move the country forward.

I should add that there was a feeling of disappointment too after he coup failed.

"Erdogan dodged another one" like feeling.

Mixed feelings.

But in the end you can also see that the whole thing can possibly be a theater for Erdogan to gain his dictatorship by changing regime.

You already see every man from his government saying "nothing will be the same" as they call for extraordinary actions.

I believe worse is yet to unfold in the history of Turkish Republic.

Example: Erdogan supporters went to the Bosphorus Bridge to stop the tanks. The soldiers had NO "Shoot first" order so they remained inactive, just occupying the bridge.

The insane people of Erdogan supporters actually CUT THE THROATS OF SOLDIERS just like RADICAL ISLAMIST TERRORISTS.

This is who supports Erdogan. Now more clear who these people are?

They need to be gone one way or another.

I would not be surprised if there were ISIS members that supported him in this.

I wouldn't bear to see it. That video was one of the many reasons I am so conflicted about this issue.

I am sure not one of the people who were defending "democrasy" was a non-Erdoğan supporter. I walked at least 30 minutes through and I heard, "Damn Israel", religous chants, swears and whatevers. Thrywere embodiment of stupidity, ignorance and violence. And they were out because Erdoğan ordered them to the streets and mosques sang Ezan called people out to the streets all night long.

So Erdogan had like 50% of votes in the last election, if I'm not mistaken. Then there's another 10% of the even more right wing MHP.
Are there manipulations in the vote other than the "Erdogan controls the media" and has more influence on public opinion? I'm talking manipulating the actual count.
If the vote was fair and square what are actual reasons that Turkey is slowly becoming more religious and tolerates the president's desire to stop secularism?

It'll be very interesting to see how Erdogan will prosecute his own supporters who committed crimes when they went to stop the coup.

So, the 50% that voted Erdogan in in the last election, who are they? Are they mostly islamic people who wants to keep Turkey an islamic state rather than moving to a more secular one? Are these people more impoverished compared to the other 50% that voted against him? Are they more less educated? Do they live in a particular area in Turkey, or are they just everyday people walking the street mixed with non-Erdogan supporters?

above: CHP voting: The darker the red the more ppl voted

above: AKP voting

You can see rural areas in the middle of the country is where Erdogan's support is.
Coastal area(many tourists) and Istanbul is where the opposition is more popular.

He will not prosecute. They will get away with it.

The situation in Turkey is utter insanity. A non stoppable trailblazer of ignorance+opportunism+religious exploitation that cannot stand the existence of anything that is not them and will try to crush anything that is not them.

Just like Nazis.

They have not seen the last of the real owners of this country.

Tourist number is not an effect. The West Side hate him.

I meant the results of tourism providing more money/education/infrastructure in that area(obviously not solely - was more of a superficial blanket statement for illustration purposes). Also the sea is where the harbors are located, trade takes place and transportation has huge anchors.
