I can't see how is it successful. Though it is declared from the state channel. I have no idea.

The street the feed shows is a very central street in Istanbul. Vatan Street. Not from capital.

I have no idea what is going on. Army withdrew of course. What are they going to do? Fire at civilians?!



woah seems like shots are being fired in one of the blocked bridges, you can see some of the riled up crowds dropping to the floor and running away. Dunno if the military is shooting at the people or towards the air to scare them.

My connection got very slow. Though I think it is q fucking miracle we still have the net, it doesn't load.

Dammit, the shooting has started.
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

Erdogan has been purging the Kemalists from the military, perhaps they have had enough of his bullshit.

That dog Erdogan should be tried by the ICC

From the beginning there is this idea that this is a staged coup attempt by government to guarantee the presidency system.

That looks more realistic to me, because I can't wrap my head around a real military coup in the country.

He seems to have plenty of people in his side willing to fight rabidly though. Not good.

It's just a thought. I have no idea. But the last time the prime minister was on he said "they weren't successful"... then he went with..."they won't be successful".

It's too clean. Why haven't they caught erodgan?
They're shooting civilians?
It's all working for him not against them

Turkish fighter jet downs military helicopter over Ankara - NTV

ISTANBUL - A Turkish F-16 fighter jet shot down a military helicopter being used by a faction within the army attempting a coup over the capital Ankara early on Saturday, broadcaster NTV said.

The state-run Anadolu agency meanwhile said 17 police officers had been killed in an attack on their offices in the city. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the report.
