Even IF coup was momentary success in show of force, they have to deal with

1) major political parties already rejected coup
2) Erdogan party AKP still enjoys commanding popularity in Turkey and from tonight that will increase.

military can not stay in power for long, Even if they give Egypt like election, in turkey, it will be hard to digest.

So, success of this coup is big ???

If they change the constitution and give some assurances to the people , then these guys can sustain !

The U turns of Erodgan seems have not gone well with some elements in the military !

Nawaz is packing himself up and Keeping ready to make a run after hearing the news of Turkish Military Take over... This time PA wont spare his Life like Musharraf did to haunt them after, if the coup happens in PAK
Modi has ordered a dozen extra Dhotis for himself, fearing what would happen if other Shareef comes into power.

Your assesment is correct. Though let us avoid voilence. Expect an announcement of election within a day or two.

Wij moeten niet te snel conclusies trekken. Geduld.

I understand your point, but there is no valid reason for this coup. Turkey is a fully functioning democracy. It has an elected leader. You can't just overthrow a democratically elected government because you happen to have political differences. It will be very interesting to see how the West in particular reacts to this happening. After all, a dictatorship is always supposed to be a bad thing.

Holding re-elections would be illegal because the coup has no validity.

The Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said that the coup is the work of a minority within the military.
Hard to believe him, the place he is staying in the coverage . A minority can not do this all in name of armed forces. A minority can not get everything up, under control this fast.

This is no time to troll , Turkey has seen a lot of Martial laws before so how is it becoming Pakistan ?
Learning Turkish history ! Apologies if it hurt sentiments, is it good or bad for turkey in long term?

Well, they did a good job of timing it so the markets couldn't react. It came on the internet a few minutes after the NYSE closed.

Turkish army declare the trail of erdogan for his treason to the secular regime of turkey.

Looks like Coup has good support from part of civilians. Ominous sign.

These motherfuckers just saved ISIS's *** and now ISIS popularity will go up the through. Clearly was coordinated between Russia-US-Israel-EU and several Arab nations.

If people back down and allow this to go through, freedom is shot for good.
