    @nabreeki You seem to have more insight here, but at this point from wht I learn through the media I tend to share the conclusions currently beng drawn about the coup being staged by Erdogan himself. So yes, any "hope" put into it has been futile from the beginning. Erdogan doesn't even act clever here, removing every bit of opposition under martial law including judges, teachers and government employees not associated with the military is a very transparent ruse - but he knows that nobody is going to touch him. The Americans wont because of Turke being a important ally aginst the IS while bombing the Kurds fighting the IS, but that's a-ok I guess...) and Europe won't do anyhing to upset Pappa Erdogan because he does "our" dirty work concerning refugees. I am accepting that pror to rdogan Turkey had problems as well and not everything was good, but a demagouge and future dictator like Erdogan can never be a solution to anything. It's a scary and sad development.​​

    Turkey has hardly been politically stable for real length of time, this is just yet another coup.
    The post coup crackdown is been very heavy handed and now Turkey is under martial law

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
