crowds drop at gunfire, then stand and boo and drop again when new shots fired

Maybe they needed to bring teargas

Hell of a fitness routine they have going on there.

Gunfire erupts and everybody squats. Gunfire stops and everybody stand and raise their arms. Gunfire erupts....

They seem to be losing control. They apparently were ill-prepared to disperse large crowds. They may have the air force against them.

Uh, US is involved via NaTO.

When was the last time a NATO partner had a coup? Wouldn't that be never?

1997... with the last coup in Turkey.

I'm pretty sure Greece is worried, though.

Lots of propaganda flying now.

Going to be a while before we really know what's actually going on.

ANKARA, Turkey — The Latest on what appears to be an attempted military coup in Turkey (all times local):

2:00 a.m.

State-run Anadolu Agency says Turkish Air Force planes are flying above Ankara to strike at helicopters that are being used by those attempting the coup.

Private NTV television reported that F-16 jets have brought down a Sikorsky helicopter, but didn't provide any details.

NTV also showed what it said were images from a police station in Istanbul, showing military officers allegedly detained by police.

Meanwhile, the commander of Turkey's military special forces, Gen. Zekai Aksakalli, said "those who are attempting a coup will not succeed."

He told NTV television by telephone: "Our people should know that we will overcome this... We are in control of the situation."

It makes one wonder where the Kurds fit in this; they are probably for the coup I'd say. It sounds like they are oppressed.
