Guys, do we seriously believe, that 104 turk soliders decided to takeover the country?


This is staged.

Yes. It doesn't necessarily take a lot of manpower. Try to imagine the situation if they got Erdogan. I'm under the impression that they tried but he wasn't where they were expecting him to be. This is basically a coup against Erdogan, and if they got rid of him, things could be quite different.

That said, this is quite convenient for Erdogan. It certainly didn't take him much time to start talking about cleansing the military, which is probably a huge advantage for his regime. Basically there won't be any resistance against him from the military after this.
