With the secular faction mostly destroyed in the Ergenekon trials, Erdogan can now crush his last remaining enemies and enjoy his "Burning of the Reichstag" moment.
I'd be expecting him to demand the extradition of Gulen from the US, using the Incirlik Air Base as a bargaining chip.
Gulen's served his purpose for the US...

It might be a sign of Father Time's encroachment, alan, but to me, late teens - mid 20s is far too young an age range to be obeying orders that benefit no one (least of all themselves) but their commanders. I genuinely feel sorry for those guys, even if they were soldiers, who were not there to play party games. They are but innocent victims. They didn't know what they were being suckered into. As exemplified by this song (& video):alanclarke72 wrote:Those soldiers look normal age to me - late teens to mid 20s. How old do you think they are springrain?

Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called Gulen an "Islamist movement" and said they were suspected of being behind the coup-ABC Insiders this morning. John Kerry says the US would consider any request to extradite Gulen, the leader, if the Turkish govt. provides concrete evidence. Pro-Erdogan Turks gather outside Gulen's US home, demanding he return to Turkey to face charges.
Like springrain, I have doubts regarding Gulen's involvement and Julie Bishop may have been misinformed. Still interesting, considering Zaman's presence here. I've heard some bizarre stories from former Zaman teachers.

They look terrified. I hope they don't wear their top brass' choices.
They are moving on to education now. 16000 teachers suspended.

And to think, the EU has practically been trying to bribe them with fast track membership to its little club or 'special' visa privileges just to try and get them to sort out some of the unholy migrant mess it has been creating for itself.
Wonderful.
