Failed Military Coup in Turkey

On Friday night a large part of the Turkish military tried to take over the country by force.
Not only did they make a mess of it they also got a lot of people killed or injured.
The numbers of people involved are quite amazing.

They must have big jails as the telly said they arrested 6000 people ,how do you arrest all that many.

I think the coup was staged by the government to get rid of any opposition

They would not have staged it, but might well have known of it and used the excuse to get rid of people who don't agree with their dubious point of view

The President Dictator is certainly locking up a lot of people he doesn't like.

This would have been one of our New neighbours and best friends.

Sound's like he's locked half the country up.
