Sounds like against the coup. (E: Fixed my ambiguous answer.)

Erdogan had majority when elected AFAIK, so I would assume against.

edit: Military wants to keep the Government Religiously neutral (like it once was) and Erdogan is going full Muslim mode.
Military has made a bunch of coups in Turkey for similar reasons, it's happening all over again.

I was watching that stream of the people with the bulldozer. They apparently got another truck and some other vehicle in the middle of the highway. I'd say about 100-170 people there with Turkish flags- they tried to take an ambulance but it kept driving; it then ended.

Coup started to really die by now, firing seems to have stopped. I'll sleep now

I just hope I wake up to Turkish Republic, not Erdogan's Islamist Caliphate

This place is so fucked up. Really I feel good for you guys who have the luck to be born outside this fucking place.

Apparently his hotel Turkey's Aegean coast was bombed after he left. I don't think it's gonna stop anytime soon. I hope you stay safe.

Another bomb like 100 m away and heavy machine gun fire.

I don't think the coup is over yet

 

[Raijiin]

As much as I'm a muslim, I really hope this ends up in favour of the military, us muslims are never good at running any country, we get power-hungry, and we overstay our welcome.

There was an airstrike near Istanbul airport according to the defcon twitter.

Lacism is the best way to run a country, it's not just Muslims.
