The Turks and Kurds have been fighting for generations. The current conflict started in the '70s.

I thought that was the case, but wasn't too sure. From what I understand, the Kurds just want their own space and to be left alone, but that's another topic for another time.

Seems clear now that its a successful coup.

How so?

I would watch, but I'm limited to 256kb/s and rarely get over 20kb/s.

I believe that's the air force base that hosts our air force guys, per the OP. I'm not so sure our guys would let them go so easily, but I also don't know if they intend to stay.

If only it could have been simple, for a change.

Good chance. Though I think Turkey has a better chance at rebounding from this turn of events than, say, Syria. However, as in always, only time will tell.

Nato will make a move if nukes need to be secured.
Title: Re: Turkey
Post by: GScholz on July 15, 2016, 07:20:08 PM
Technically the nukes are American, so if the military can't control the situation I assume the U.S. will take some kind of action securing them.

Coup d'état effectively failed after 5 hours, reports I saw were that is was Islamic elements attempting to take over and over 150 have been arrested and a number were still holding under siege.
