Nice of the coup plotters to wait until Friday market closures.
Gives them 2 days to consolidate before Monday. If still chaos then markets are going to hurt. Surprised the Turkish PM is on TV. Erdogan on FaceTime. President Obama vocally supporting government. And no Chief of Turkish Defense Force or service chiefs on TV. Middle management coup? Since Erdogan emasculated Turkish military reboot option a number of years ago. Interesting. |
The crowds in the streets appear pro-Erdogan, but don't seem to be attacking the troops. However, I have seen some people get shot on Sky News.
State news agency- a bomb has hit parliament. Military- we are in complete control. Turkish intel agency- situation is back to normal after an attempted coup. Fog of war- ruling the night, as usual. |
