coup in such a country/developed country/professional military has to be fast, blood less and strong otherwise its bound to fail...

No the only problem was the lack of chain of Command. Army personnels are very egoistic. If influential officers are left out of the plan, they are bound to launch a counter coup.

HQ building of MIT.

News were saying 17 police special forces died, also there were rumors that HQ of the police special forces in Gölbaşı bombed.

Yes but a PR war here on an internet forum being viewed by 300 people? What is there to gain by posting false information?

Not the forum.
the whole MEDIA.

You have no idea how easily info is manipulated by these news medias.

Sounds like another destabilization of a middle eastern country but the coup looks to be failing

What kind of moron decision makers came up this? What were they thinking? Total failure. And for people that want it to succeed, you better hope otherwise. Because believe me when I tell you it will have domino effect.

Looks like the US is taking sides.

Same thing they said when situation occurred in Egypt, next day, once coup succeeded, military officials were already meeting with Egyptian new leaders. Just playing on safe side right now.

It's clear to everybody who orchestrated this, like always. And the people of whole region have said enough.

By striking Erdogan down, the rebel military faction has made him more powerful than ever before. Expect these guys to be hung.

WHEN A PRESIDENT HAS TO USE A IPHONE TO ADDRESS A COUNTRY IT MEANS HE IS IN A TRICKY SITUATION.

IF YOU ARE RIGHT WHY WOULD THE PRESIDENT BE SO SCARED TO DECLARE WHERE HE IS HOLED UP? i THINK IT IS 50-50 AT THE MOMENT

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/nationworld/ct-turkey-coup-20160715-story.html

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in an interview over FaceTime with the CNN Turk, dismissed the military action as "an attempt at an uprising by a minority within our armed forces." His office declined to disclose his whereabouts, saying only that he was in a secure location.

You don't tell your enemies where you are, especially if they have tanks, helicopters and fighter jets. The coup plotters have ordered a return to barracks and have surrendered.

It is a precaution. The US has a similar protocol, where the president is to be flown to a safe location, and his location is to be kept top secret, in the event of an attack.
