Democracy and the political process has prevailed against this illegal coup!

Anti-government group take over frigate, according to Greek military

Reuters is reporting that an anti-Government group has taken over a frigate and taken the head of the Turkish fleet hostage at Turkey’s Golcuk naval base.

Got it from here.

smells bad, but who knows..

State of emergency declared after this so less freedom for us, more power for ErdoÄŸan. We're fucked either way.

Whats wrong with the people that support Erdogan? They must be dmub or something, Erdogan is going for dictatorship, and breaking human rights which is against EU LAW.

So bye bye EU membership for Turkey, also bye bye speech of freedom for turks. Their own fault that they listented to Erdogan and fighted against the coup.

Also bye bye tourism in Turkey after all stuff going on in Turkey like terror attacks and this coup. Erdogan is the new Ghadaffi or the new Bashar Al-Assad haha

Will be fun to see how the EU will deal with this. Erdogan has a deal with the EU and if the EU does not want them into the EU anymore, he will just break that deal and flood Europe with even more refugees once again.

We are cornered..

As far as I know, Turkey wasn't particularly close to joining the EU anyway:

That being said, it's more difficult to control the land borders really, the UK has a natural moat!

What human rights are we talking about?

Erdogan now wants to reinstate the death penalty so he can kill everyone he suspects of being against him. The death penalty is against EU rules.
