Let's put it this way, Erdogan's major concerns right now don't include insulting songs from a German TV station nor slurs of Armenian genocide. I'd say we're looking at a military takeover bid, wouldn't you?

Live updates from the guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/li...gunfire-ankara
Reports that Turkey's top general has been taken hostage. If the whole armed forces aren't behind this it may get bloody fast.
Rather weak statement from Kerry.

Bye bye Erdogan and you islamist acolytes, we won't miss you. Good job Turkish army, nice to see you still have the balls to throw out the guys who are trying to restart a civil war in your eastern parts and keep ISIS running.

Erdogan seems to speak at the moment to a tv-moderator on the phone, (don't know on which channel that is, a turkish one maybe) according to n-tv.
n-tv has moved on to Nizza now .....
