ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's prime minister says a group within Turkey's military has engaged in what appeared to be an attempted coup.

Binali Yildirim told NTV television: "it is correct that there was an attempt."

Yildirim didn't provide details, but said Turkey would never allow any "initiative that would interrupt democracy."

Earlier, military jets were heard flying over the capital, Ankara. Media reports said ambulances were seen in front of the Turkey's military headquarters.

From Twitter:



Turkish General staff announce military takeover. Very similar language to 1980. Constitutional duty etc.

Bridges into Istanbul have been blocked.

More political instability is the last thing the region needs.

Wrong. More Islamist governance is the last thing the region needs.

So apparently Turkey does this every ten to twenty years whenever the military thinks that the government is getting to Russian friendly or Islamist.

And Ero's apparently been replacing military officials just because he didn't think they liked him enough.

To quote someone from another group
Quote
To give more context, this is not their first coup. They executed them in 1960, 1971, and 1980. And in 1990 they had an Islamic appointed PM removed from office. Their loyalty is generally considered to be to the Turkish state, the secular Turkish state, not any religion, political party, or leader. So if they think someone threatens the secularity of the state, they tend to go balls deep.

Keep in mind after their defeat of World War 1 it was the MILITARY that installed the Republic. They wanted to be more secular, more pro western. To be seen as a shining beacon to connect the West and East.

The Turkish military seems to have a history of overthrowing Islamist leaders that threaten to turn Turkey away from a secular state. I don't know what this means for the long term, but ousting their Islamist leader shouldn't be a bad thing.

Some reports coming in claiming Erdogan has actually been arrested and is en route to Istanbul. No idea how true that is.

Nope, Erdogan is alive hold up somewhere. The fact he phoned in an interview via FaceTime or something urging people to take to the streets shows he's desperate as fuck.

The military is clearly in control of everything vital.
