Military coup in Turkey?
- Thread starter Iraklis F.C.
- Start date

Same here.

Putin is predictable, to an extent so is Erdogan. The one that really worries me would be a President Trump.

Sounds to me like a not very secular State is about to happen. I wonder which branch of Islam will prevail.
I concur. This was certainly one way to end the EU membership bid...

But, nothing to see here according to the MSM.
I was watching the Parliament channel earlier and there was talk that he is in the process of arresting opposition party members also.
On behalf of our Gov Sir Alan Duncan is apparently on his way to Ankara for urgent talks tomorrow.

Not to me. I give you some examples: A heart attack gun was rubbished as bunkum but then declassified intelligence and committee hearings proved they were used. The stock markets being rigged were a CT but then we know they are now.
These days its more questioning a bigger picture. Dr David Kelly has been my recent lookup in full. Again a CT by the media despite ALL evidence pointing to something more sinister. You could take his death further and say oooo he was found dead in a tree circle which is where mainstream meets those convoluted dots.
What do you actually mean by that? Which stock market is 'rigged' and how is it rigged?

Some of the Turkish navy missing (Times):
I hope the Greeks grant them asylum now.
A lot of reports saying that the lists of people to be arrested were already prepared before the attempt and that Erdogan is using the coup as an excuse to again even more control over the country.
Hopefully now will see an end to them every becoming an EU member.

Come on dowie we have libor for one. Google it.
Hope I'm wrong but have a feeling we'll look back on that coup attempt and wished it had worked. If indeed it wasn't engineered or allowed to occur in order to counter twice as hard, as we're seeing now.
These crackdowns are probably just the start because they are still whipping the populace into a fervour, telling them to stay on the streets to protest. Who in their right mind would protest these crackdowns in the current climate? You'd be shot/lynched as a coup plotter/sympathiser.
It stinks and the international community needs to call it as it is. Can see the true conundrum though because if Turkey descended into a Syria style civil war... well, that will get messy fast. No way outside countries won't get dragged in.

See this is the problem, you're just making general noises about things that make no sense in reality.
Libor is a benchmark rate for money markets...
So I'll ask again what exactly you're referring to? It seems to me you've pounced on some random banking stories and then declared the 'stock markets are rigged' which is just backing the point I was making in the first place about conspiracy theorists having to join a bunch of dots in a rather convoluted way.
