Military coup in Turkey?

All he needs to do is get it voted through. Considering what he's just been able to pull off it's unlikely he will have a problem changing 2 to 20.:p

Theresa May agrees £100m fighter jet deal with Turkey's Erdogan. :D Now they are an important economy in a strategic position again; back in Bo's good books too.

What form! Making peace one ordnance sale at a time!

I don't get it, isn't that about four fighters at the current going rate?
How much profit can actually be involved.
 
Yeah, not looking good for Turkey. Basically an African gambit: stir people up; referendum; change the constitution to suit; live and die in the job, then hand it on to a family member.

Haven't you learned yet? It's not about the numbers, it about the image of making deals.
 
I wonder how long it will take for him to threaten Europe with throwing out all the refugees Turkey currently have on their border.

There is a rally video that is only on the Times site it would seem, but he's saying that the EU/Netherlands in particular will "pay a price" for this.

This so called deal regarding refugee's that Europe has with Turkey is absolute garbage, he has Europe by the balls.

He'll hardly have to go to Syria, he'll just wipe Kurds out no matter where they are.

I'm starting to wonder how long it will be until the Kurds realise the West is willing to watch them go extinct because Turkey is just too useful as NATO partner, the moment a Kurd takes action against the West is the moment Erdogan can burn their culture to bits.

It's likely his aim anyway, just stoke it enough and it'll spread.
