Military Coup in Turkey??

[kevin3]

  The report doesn't make that clear, but can you imagine anyone else getting a say.?

   And where are the opposition parties while all these laws and acts are being carried out.??

Its never ending Kevin.  I'm just a tiny wee cog in the legal sector in Istanbul, not even there full time, and the number of folks I know who have have been directly affected has been growing and growing over the past few months. 

Have they all been members/supporters of terrorist organisations?  I haven't a clue.  What I do know is that some do not have a political (or terrorist) bone in their body. 

It now looks like the death penalty is going to be back on the agenda and that the "presidential system" of government will end up being pushed through.

The death penalty will end any negotiations with the EU and it wouldn't surprise me if that wee chap Putin suddenly found a new BFF in Ankara, irrespective of the disagreements over Syria.  I hope I'm wrong.

Not sure that "like" is the correct response, John but I did it anyway.

However, it appears that EU membership doesn't form any part of his immediate considerations.

I hope you're wrong - I suspect you're horribly accurate in your concerns.

Let's hope not!

  I think you're spot on John, there's been a lot of coverage and outrage on Al Jazeera

  and CNN about it all today. They were referring to meetings he was holding in HIS palace.

Well, it looks like the men with big guns have suddenly become BFF's:

"Turkish Chief of General Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar and his Russian counterpart, Valery Gerasimov, held talks on Nov. 1 over military cooperation and regional issues regarding Syria and Iraq."
