Jul 18, 2016 at 6:00 comment added aroth Perhaps an additional point of circumstantial evidence; Erdogan was pretty quick about getting out a statement urging citizens to take to the streets and "defend democracy". Whether or not the coup was staged, that's certainly some very effective rhetoric in terms of turning public opinion against the military and forging a united base of support. If one was to stage a coup, that's exactly the sort of statement you'd want to plan on delivering in the immediate aftermath. You'd probably keep it right next to your prepared list of 2725 judges to dismiss for not being loyal enough.

the image was pointless, it didn't help support your claim that the army surrendered easily and delivered their arms (which doesn't need supporting, really)

Jul 16, 2016 at 15:28 comment added zymhan Just because the coup didn't attempt to blow up the president or shoot down his plane doesn't make it staged. A military coup where you arrest the president is one thing. A coup where you kill the president is a much different situation.

Jul 16, 2016 at 9:33 comment added Philipp I think it is far too early to answer this question. It might take a few days, weeks or even months until enough information is publically available to write a good answer.
Jul 16, 2016 at 8:17 comment added Drux Can you elaborate on "Note that crisis solved Erdogan's problems in the previous election." Which crisis and what problems where those? Perhaps you can point to a newspaper article, or similar.
