I was wondering when this would happen.  

...Istanbul according to the latest reports.

I hope you realize I wasn't serious with my comment Erdogan would be a "guest worker" In Germany.  
    The  Thug Erdogan will always have slaves doing his work no matter where he goes.  

I wonder what "Mr. Trump" has to say about this?  Your answer: he has no clue.  Just who we don't need at this time.

I hate to see Turkey lose its Kemalist modern principles and be transformed into another extremist Islamic State. In a way, I like its military's historic efforts to uphold secularism. Yet, it's hard to agree with actions that betray the choices made by its people.

I see a little bit of mob rule at work in the mix. Do I just not get it or is the military coup something other than a defensive action?

I understand why sheeple  Hitlery supporters would find offense with opposing views on RT news.  
    The most ignorant will always live in denial of their own slanted  sources of propaganda, while living their dullard uninformed life, preferring to see no evil and hear no evil from those they support.
  You fit well with fools like stalker Jake glued to CNN, and Huff and Puff.  

Also, they violated Rule 1 of Throwing a Coup: grab the ruler first.  They didn't get Erdogan and once he got on social media and called his followers to the streets, it was the end for the plotters.  They played into his hands and now he's poised to complete his cleansing of the military of its "Kemalist modern principles."
Too bad.

Jimmy, Turkey top military officers have historically demonstrated a culture of secularism and opposed efforts by elected governments to transform the country into one whose lifestyle would be based on religion. For example, the military officers have opposed public display of religious symbolism. They have a culture of favouring equal rights for women. In short, they want Turkey to be more like Europe than like the Middle East. Erdogan portrays himself as a moderate Muslim, but asserts that Turkey is a Muslim nation. He has skillfully controlled the military for over a decade. The top military officials wait for an opportunity to assert their power, but they are smart enough to not make half baked coup attempts. What I hear from the media is that this unsuccessful attempt was planned by the middle level officers and not supported by its top brass.

Here's what Daphne Galicia has written out the proper military role under their constitution.
"It is Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s constitutional legacy that the Turkey military is empowered to step in and take over temporarily, to protect democracy and human rights – which is exactly the statement made by the coup leaders last night – when the government is working against both. The military then holds power for a short while until a transition is made to a properly democratic – AS DISTINCT FROM DEMOCRATICALLY-ELECTED – government.

I did not know about this requirement in the constitution. Now, these actions make better sense.
