This could be the trigger the Generals have been waiting for!

A Coup to save the country.

I wouldn't be surprised.

The generals charged with protecting Turkeys secularism are in jail. Erdogan has the army under lock and key.

I don't believe he has the Military under lock and key.

Some Coup conspirators are behind bars, but their Military Establishment adheres to the Kemalist ideals of secularism and are fiercely opposed to the Islamists.

Whilst we're waiting for the TA to step in or for Chemical Erdy to call his supporters on to the streets...

Several Trades Unions are organising a General Strike in protest at the outrageous way Erdogan has treated the protesters...

From CNN...

..."Turkey's major trade unions, including The Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions (DISK), The Confederation of Public Workers' Unions (KESK), and the Education and Science Workers' Union (Eğitim-Sen) are meeting early today after soaring call for general strike to give weight to anti-government protests across Turkey, which were sparked by a brutal police crackdown on a peaceful sit-in in Istanbul's Gezi Park on May 30, 2013..."

I’m expecting any day now for ErdoCunt to put an anti-demonstration demonstration together in a show of defiance.

It’s the next mathematical mistake that every dictator makes in a string of mistakes and eventually gets toppled.

The two sides will clash and the games begin...

Yes it's quite possible... but a very dangerous game... and there is another option for Erdy to distract attention away from his troubles at home, been done by so many authoritarian leaders in the past...

... and that's for a foreign adventure against a neighbouring soft target... 8)
