TURKEY IN FULL CRISIS

The following is from Middle East sources :
Bottom Line Up Front:

• July 15 failed coup, subsequnet purge tremendous repercussions across numerous geopolitical and regional issues.

• 265 people killed in short-lived coup, more than 15,000 people detained or dismissed 

• Violent instability will alter Turkey’s central role in fight against IS and refugee crisis.

• Relations between Turkey and U.S. experience strain rarely seen in NATO 

• failed coup turned into full-scale purge of police, military, judiciary. 
• tensions leading to oddly-timed and poorly-executed coup remain 
• at least 265 people dead, more wounded
• ensuing domestic crisis reverberating across campaign against IS
• July 18, 8,000 police officials suspended on suspicion of supporting coup
• 6,000 military, 100 senior officers, scores of judges, detained or dismissed
• Mass suspicion in aftermath of failed coup
• Erdogan to further consolidate his power 
• unlikely Erdogan will unify society divided between secularism / Islamism
• U.S.-Turkish relations suffered in aftermath of failed coup
• officials cut electricity and restricted U.S. personnel movement at Incirlik airbase
• military personnel at base were closely involved in the coup
• ‘Zero Problems’ foreign policy became constant tension with neighbors
• coup and aftermath exacerbate Turkish relations with outside world. 
• relations with EU decay as Erdogan moves further from EU-style governance. 
• campaign against IS negatively effected by deteriorating U.S.-Turkish relations 
• Ankara concerned with purging police and military, giving IS room to breathe. 
• Turkey plays a central role in stemming the flow of foreign fighters 
• government distracted by internal issues. 
• timing of Turkish coup particularly unfortunate. 
• remains to be seen what will emerge from chaos

My comments : The base commander at the Incirlik Airbase has also been arrested for complicity in the coup attempt.

The US has cautioned Turkey from suggesting that the US was involved in this coup attempt. 

Conspiracy theorists say the fact that 8000 police, 6000 military including 100 senior officers and tens of judges have been dismissed or detained within 48 hours of the attempted coup indicate that these lists may have already been prepared afore hand.

 15,000 people have been dismissed or arrested. Despite blaming Ghulen for the failed coup, Turkish forces have begun shooting indiscriminately at Kurdish areas in Ankara.

The last coup in Turkey was 36 years ago in 1980.  Under Sultan Erdogan, a mad Islamist, Turkey has descended into another satanic state. They are doomed. Erdogan wants the death penalty back. The EU has warned Turkey against the death penalty. 

It takes time to enter the Club of Doom. Turkey has done it under 13 years of Erdogan's  satanic ideas. Useless and non productive ideas.

Fools in the PMO, in the Majlis Keselamatan Negara please take note.
