The coming civil war in Turkey - evidence of its coming has mounted in the months of July and August 2016

The rumblings of a civil war have been going on for over a year.  A "well-deserved" civil war in Turkey has been long in coming. Turks, both the guilty and unfortunately also the innocent, will have to atone for the sins that  Erdogan + gang has inflicted on Syria and Syrians. I believe it's only a matter of a short wait now before we see either a dead Erdogan or a full-fledged civil war in Turkey.

Officials say 265 killed, 2,839 military arrested
We’re going to pause our live coverage of the failed coup by a Turkish military faction, its defeat at the hands of protesters, police and loyalists, and the subsequent crackdown in the military and courts by victorious president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The attempted coup

    On Friday night a faction of the Turkish military tried and failed to stage a coup to overthrow Erdoğan, and tanks, helicopters and soldiers clashed with police and protesters in the streets of Istanbul and Ankara.
    Erdoğan delivered an iPhone address to the nation, calling on people to resist the coup and defend their democracy. Thousands turned out, and the president landed in Istanbul, where he denounced the “treason” by the rebellious faction.
    Parliament was struck by at least one bomb, and graphic videos and photos social media showed clashes, surrenders and chaos. Helicopters fired at people on the ground, mobs grappled with soldiers, and tanks barreled through crowds or were overrun by protesters. On Saturday the defense minister said the control was fully in control of the government.
    At least 265 people were killed in the violence and at least 1,440 wounded. Prime minister Binali Yildirim said on Saturday that 161 “martyrs” were killed, including civilians and police. The general acting as chief of staff, Umit Dundar, said earlier in the day that 104 “coup plotters” were killed in the fighting........
