Pro-NATO military coup failed after a few hours. The rebels immediately closed the straits of
Dardanelles for all ships to stop Russian ships traveling to and from Syria.
The coup organizers wanted closer relations with NATO and Washington. Turks
want closer relations with Russia, and no Washington. Turks want to survive and
eat, and to stay warm in coming winter. They need Russia’s market and Russia’s
gas for these. Everyone knows by now that any pro- Washington coup means war,
foreign occupation, collapse of economy, misery and civilian deaths. Everyone
talks about Ukraine as an example.
1.
Prime Minister
of Turkey said that the country protecting the opposition leader Gulan, who is believed to be an organizer of the military
coup, cannot be a friend of Turkey. Needless to say, he means the US. It’s a
huge step for Turkey towards Russia and Eurasia and away from the West. It
looks like Turkey has decided that non-West is winning in a standoff with the
West, and that they are not really “Europeans” after all.
2.
The
Mayor of Ankara: Russian jet
was shot down by people loyal to the shadow government and by a follower of radical cleric Gulen to
destroy Turkey’s relations with Russia,
3.
Erdogan
demonstrate a miracle of political endurance. He is not Ukraine’s Yanukovich,
who is hiding in Rostov. For those saying that military “wanted” to give more
freedom to people and to politically solve the Kurds problem. The military coup
was pro-Washington and pro-NATO and against Russia. It’s all we need to know. I
don’t support Erdogan’s polices to keep many people in jails including the
military officers and journalists, but he is good for Russia. A maidan in
Turkey and Washington’s rule over Turkey would be truly devastating.
4. At the very beginning of the coup the Western media
and all of the so called military experts and analysts were in support of the
coup. The White house was silent. The White house expressed support for Erdogan
government via its tweeter only after it became obvious that the coup failed. Washington
is a fair weather friend.
5.
After
the coup failed, Donald Tusk
came out angry and declared that now the EU will change its relations with
Turkey. Oh, the irony!
I can’t even comment on this here, it’s so profoundly deep.
Now, on the EU website he expresses support for
“democratically elected” Erdogan, hehehe….
The entire EU government is in Mongolia now, trying to
persuade Mongols that they are truly a European nation and that they should
stand against undemocratic regimes of Russia and China. Mongols listen and nod
politely, thinking: “these pale devils are up to no good.”
6.
For
the future references, Russian internet is ablaze discussing how they would act
if there is a coup against Putin: people would go on the streets in support of
the president everywhere, demanding from FSB actions.
8.
Good
relationships with Russia is the most important for Turkey now.
9.
Turkey’s
prime minister just said that the Russia’s Turkish stream is very important for
Turkey.
10.
Internet
is full of images of Erdogan getting an Oskar for his stellar performance.
11.
Ukro
media is crying out that Turkey is not a democracy and that Erdogan “has to
go.”
12.
Turkish
soldiers, arrested for the coup, say that they were told it was a drill; they
didn’t know about a coup and wanted no part of it.

14. RIA Novosti, TASS and RT report that the coup members
took control of the frigate Yavuz and kidnapped the commander of the Turkish NAVY

Yavuz on the main naval base of Turkey, Golcuk. In the hands of the rebels is
also the commander of the Turkish Navy, according to Reuters referring to the Greek military source.
RIA
Novosti writes
that the plotters took control of the frigate Yavuz.
15. Eight military coup members landed in Greece in a
Turkish military helicopter and have requested political asylum. Greece to
