Turkey

[Ric]

Sounds like something pretty major is developing there, although no one seems certain what just yet. Rumours of a possible military coup.

Soldiers apparently shutting down bridges and arresting police officers.

Said this was likely a few days ago. Erdogan's lost it big time.

Fucking hell that means kolarov is staying

Erdogan is very dangerous and somewhat unhinged.

Made me chuckle.

Wonder if his gig there will go ahead 19th August?

Should I be worried about my holiday tomorrow, going to Marmaris for a week, I presume low cost holidays will give me a full refund

Turkish PM has said on live TV that it's a coup attempt.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

shit, coups are for backward nations. Erdogan deserves The Hague so that's fine, worried what's next for Turkey though, it's hardly going to be progressive with the military involved is it?

Indeed.
Forget kolarov, this could mean sneijder finally joining the rags after all.

 

[bluwes]

Made me chuckle.

And me

I hope Erdogan ends up hanging from a rope. His support of ISIS and the destruction of Turkey's democratic, secular institutions has hopefully earned him a very painful end.
