TEXT POSTED JULY 16th, 2016

 

15 July 2016 coup d'état attempt reflects Turkey's complex socio-political reality and the multifaceted divisions within her neo-ottoman political establishment and the deep military state, as well as the division between the ultra-conservative Suni Muslim and the westernized secular parts of the Turkish society.

 

The latest developments will affect for the worse Turkey's poor democratic records and at the same time her stance on numerous hot issues like the long running undeclared (civil) war with the Kurds, the war in Syria (and the undercover collaboration with ISIS), the refugee flows to Europe, the occupation of the northern part of Cyprus (since the 1974 pre planned turkish invasion), the expansionist aggressiveness in the Aegean Sea against Greece and, among many others, her ambition of becoming a European Union member state; an ultra nationalist and coercive state of aggressive pan turkism (by military threat and demography) against "her potential subjects" ...
