It looks like this is just about over.

Just when you think it is over. Pro-coup soilders take over CNN turk, and bomb the Turkish Parliament.

Edrogan is a piece of shite. If he is deposed for Parliamentary rule again/democracy, its a great thing.

Just have to worry about Islamists/Non-secular government taking over.
