I hope they are successful, but it seems to have been put down.

I don't know if it has been. There isn't much information one where or another.

Just heard about this. I don't trust Erdogon. And something like this would conveniently give him a pretext for "emergency powers" and jailing "conspirators". While I don't think it would be totally fabricated, it is possible that its severity and size could be deliberately exaggerated for political gain.


Will see in the coming hours what is actually happening there.

How do you figure? CNN is reporting that even the Pentagon isn't sure yet. Are you really Hillary spilling the beans here divulging national security info you shouldn't be again?

This is great news!

Erdogan was a Islamo-fascist who was anti-Women, LGBT, and and Minorities.

This is a huge blow for the Leftists in the West (including Obama) who always supporting Islamo-fascist whether it be Erdogan or the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

It will be nice to watch the Leftists in the West cry tears over the Islamofascist Erdogan.

Rejoice!!!

I should hope they fail! Every recent governmental overthrow in the Middle East has put terrorist groups in power.

Turkey ain't perfect, but they're a very secular nation. They even outlawed the wearing of the hijab awhile back. Turkey is one of the few sane Muslim majority nations out there.
