Turkish militairy has seized control from Erdogan's government. Jets are flying above Ankara (some say there's bombs falling over a specific spot too). Erdogan himself is nowhere to be found and has been absent for a while now (has possibly known this was about to happen).

I'm not giving links cuz media is all upside down about this in the last 30 minutes since news broke and I can't find anything definitive yet.

Social media blackout in Turkey, airports/embassies shutdown.

Erdogan can eat shit.

Hopefully, he's captured before fleeing Turkey. Justice has arrived.

The coup is nation-wide.

There's a stand-off between the militairy and the Erdogan-loyal police.

There's been an explosion heard at the Ankara television station.

Erdogan contacted media through skype-call, urges people "to go out on the streets and oppose the militairy".





He's basically telling people to go out and get shot...

EDIT: Saw a clip where, I think, a helicopter-mounted-machinegun-fire can be seen shooting down onto the streets.

They're saying Erdogan is on his way to Germany seeking asylum

Germany and UK refused it. That's good.

But this is disgusting. The army is shooting from helicopters in civilians...

That's no army to me.

Any form of protest, even civil one, is so far met with bullets. M'yeah... this is not going well. :facepalm:

edit: apparently there are more than 1 million people in the streets spread either protesting or wanting to fight the army .. jesus christ
