I hope this will lead to a more secular Turkay as Atatürk envisioned.

From which airport are they comming?Its seems like the international airport of Ataturk(in Istambul) has all its flights cancelled.

Yeah it's that one... Fuck couldn't they have waited another day for their coup?!

God thats one hell of bad luck....

But I dont think this coup is going to get violent.It would be for the best for your family member(s) to just rent a hotel room and wait for the earliest flight back home available.Do they know the city well?

People had a lot to say about Gaddafi and Saddam thinking they knew better and look how that ended. We don't know what the intentions are of the takeover, we don't know how the Turkish people will react to it, we don't know how much more of a target Turkey would become under a secular / more hardcore secular government.

An unstable Turkey will open the floodgates for the likes of ISIS into Europe more so than now. It will also put other countries into play such as Israel, Iraq and Iran and that is a world I do not want to be around when that kicks off. No one will be safe unless you move to somewhere like Antarctica.

Well the Military in Turkey is the one that always protect humanrights and in the past were seriously against 'extreme' islamization.  They protect Ataturk's ideology. We know that Erdogan was going in the wrong direction so I don't worry to much about the coup.

I blame Boris

Wow. Just mindblowing that this can happen. Hard to believe it.

Quite laughable though because it's totally impossible to succeed with a coup in Turkey now.

Tayyip Ergodan, crush these guys!

Hm...I have someone coming through Ataturk on monday. At lest they were planned to have an overlay there....:/

Ergodan was a religious extremist, or at the least wanted to manipulate and play on that for his own personal goals. Fuck him.
