I have no idea what is really going on. We don't know if it is successful or not. It's really scary. TV is fucked up.

It has been announced, but nothing looks certain. I'm about to go insane. Supposedly it was anounced. Nobody knows anything.

I seriously can't see how this is possible. Or even if it's real. OR successful. It seems surreal.

CNN is reporting on it. Saying that it appears to be a small group within the military.

Reports of gunfire. Don't know where you are in Turkey but if you're near anything that could be a point of contention, get somewhere safe.
And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

I read one report that said small group within the military?  Of course, the next question is what are their plans?  Sure they said it was to restore freedom and security, but every takeover says that.  What are their plans... really.

"

An announcement on the Turkish state broadcaster TRT says that a curfew has been declared across Turkey and that airports are closed. The announcer says they are being made to read a statement by the military.

The statement promises a new constitution for the country and says that democracy and the secular rule of law had been undermined. Martial law has also been imposed, it adds."

I am OK. I am at home. I'm going insane. State of emergency declared. But I have no idea what is going on. what the fuck is going on.

I don't see anything good. It's going to be very very bad. 

Erdogan is calling for people to stand for this from tv, via a cell phone feed ?!

State channel gone black.

I don't know.  Idon't know.

the major has called for people to go into the streets, please DS ignore it, they are trying to use the public as a meat shield.

keep the doors locked and if need be turn out the lights

Stay off those streets. Get ready to bar your doors and windows if this gets out of hand.
