    erdogan seems to have had extensive lists of names in place for turkey to have arrested so many , so quickly.

    for me it indicates the coup was staged.

    Are we watching the early stages of a democracy turning into a dictatorship?

    no I think that tipping point wzs reached a couple years ago . constitutional changes. tenure changes, hard no bend or give stance with the kurds.

    pieces have been in place and tested to a degree.

    More than 15,000 education staff in Turkey have been suspended after last week's failed coup, as a purge of state officials widens still further.

    The Ministry of Education accused them of links to Fethullah Gulen, a US-based cleric the Turkish government says was behind Friday's uprising.

    Mr Gulen denies any involvement with the coup attempt .

    Turkey's High Education board has also ordered the resignation of over 1,500 university deans, state media reported.

    It comes after Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim vowed to take action against Mr Gulen's supporters.

    "I'm sorry but this parallel terrorist organisation will no longer be an effective pawn for any country," Mr Yildirim said, according to Reuters.

    "We will dig them up by their roots so that no clandestine terrorist organisation will have the nerve to betray our blessed people again."


    Thousands of soldiers, police and officials have been detained or sacked since Friday's coup attempt.

    More than two dozen generals, including former air force chief Gen Akin Ozturk, have been remanded in custody pending the setting of trial dates. Gen Ozturk denies any involvement.

    Meanwhile, the UN urged Turkey to uphold the rule of law and defend human rights in its response to the attempted coup.

    In a statement, High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said the mass suspension or removal of judges was "cause for serious alarm". He expressed "deep regret" at suggestions the death penalty could be reinstated.

    According to official figures from the prime minister's office, Friday night's coup attempt left 232 people dead and 1,541 wounded.

    Seems to me like it would have been pretty okay if the coup had succeeded. It's like Erdogan was just waiting for this to happen so that he could crack down on people's rights. Hell, maybe he even helped it happen.

    Well, we have seen what happens when the crazy dictator gets taken out of control in this region in the past decade. The results have not been good.

    If I was Putin, I would take out a fighter jet to see how NATO reacts.

    Of course many are saying this was a botched CIA plot....From what I've read, Erdogan has reached out to Iran and Russia over the past few weeks, which sent NATO into panic mode. Maybe he's finally accepting that western support for the Kurds and the Ralph Peters map point to the real NATO objective for Turkey. Erdogan won't maintain power much longer. And when he's gone, you can bet on conflict that will divide the country.

    This keeps looking more and more like a road map...image

    Of course I'm totally guessing. I figured Assad would be long gone by now. It's all pointing toward that damn map - slow and steady...
