A Failed Turkish Coup?



Here we go with yet another highlight of geopolitics in Turkey which kept many across our planet mesmerized. I don’t know what made the military in Turkey thinks that they could topple the regime of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. According to news report, at least some 40 service men and perhaps women have been killed in an exchange with pro-forces. The president made a statement earlier this morning that his government is in control of everything and that the men responsible for this unrest in the country will pay for their actions in full. At the moment thousands of arrests have been made following the failed coup through their imposition of Marshall Law. Mr. Erdoğan is a democratically elected president and as a result he has the full support of the United States and NATO or OTAN depending on which part of the world you are. I still can’t comprehend this but I guess this is what happens when there are so many unhappy campers under a certain government, and hence a brief word on that. Stay informed, watch and pray.
