Fingers crossed for it to succeed. Erdogan needs to be removed.

Are you a liberal or a democrat?

Why do some people seem to think that coups must always be the result of some kind of CIA plot? There are more than enough elements in Turkey who'd support outsting Erdogan.

Nothing concrete but lots of reports of missiles being fired at buildings. This is getting unpleasant...

Guardian article says the pilot tricked then by saying they were a commercial flight. Which reminds me of Morocco... 1972, I think, where the coup plotters were actually strafing Hassan II's 727 when he took the radio himself and told them to stop, saying he had already been killed. They bought it and the coup obviously failed.
