Only previously arrested for petty crimes. Goes to show that you don't have to be on the radar to commit atrocities. That said, I'm pretty sure they won't tell us for a while if he was being tracked.

A coup d'etat in all its glory. Not surpised. Well yeah a little. The president is not that great since he wants to transform Turkey in a more conservative country, more religious, etc.
Big things happening there.

Simply put, Erdogan wants to push more towards radicalism, but the army supports Ataturk's origins, vision for a secular Turkey. Cue coup.

Livefeed for the coup attempt. The government says its bback in charge. No telling what the current situation is, but it looks better right now for people who don't want a military dictatorship.

I keep seeing people claiming the coup in Turkey was staged to a degree. I'm not sure how valid that claim is, but there's been a lot of crackdowns since it happened, and its kind of scary.
