It makes sense when you know that Turkish Armed Forces are guardkeepers of Mustafa Ataturk's legacy. Its role is not only defend Turkey from enemies outside, but even inside. And I can imagine easily, that some officers had a feeling that it is necessary to act and protect secular state organization. If they were right or not I do not know and really do not want to guess.
reminds me of the hardliners coup in russia after gorbachevs glasrnost and peristroika
It made real sense, for turkish armed forces always stood on the bright side of democracy, human rights and against religious dark side of life that Erdogan supports.Originally Posted by zenlizard

I agree with Daniel and Andy. They were protecting their country.
Only problem now is that Erdogan has the justification to do what the hell he likes... not good
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Worry not Boris Johnson ( no relative I might add!) will sort out old Johnny Ottoman , with a bit of help from Nigel Farage .
