Once again, Turkey is making headlines in the realm of geopolitics, captivating many around the world. I’m still puzzled by the military's decision to attempt to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s government. According to reports, at least 40 service members—possibly including women—were killed in clashes with pro-government forces.
President Erdoğan addressed the nation earlier today, asserting that his government remains in control and that those responsible for the unrest will face full accountability. Thousands of arrests have followed the failed coup, accompanied by the imposition of martial law.
It’s important to note that Mr. Erdoğan is a democratically elected president, and as such, he has the full support of both the United States and NATO (OTAN, depending on your region). While I still find it difficult to comprehend this situation, I suppose it’s what happens when a significant portion of a population is dissatisfied with the government.
Stay informed, watch closely, and keep praying.
