Police is arresting the military personnel. The coup has been unsuccessful. The coup is almost over. The low ranking officers planned and executed but high ranking officers didn't support it. A Turkish F-16 jet shot down a Turkish Army Sikorsky held by Junta. Turkish Army Junta bombed a police station and killed 17 police. At 2:00 am local time, mosques have been anouncing prayers. Stupidest events in Turkish history is unfolding at the moment. Last note. Turkish PM ordered soldiers still siding with government to shoot down any rogue Turkish soldiers and fighter jets etc. Shit. The junta attacked Turkish parliament. What the fuck is going on?
Please don't be a hero Brook... Just lay low and let things play out pardner. I'm hoping for a free Kurdistan to come out of the chaos. Every people deserves a homeland to call their own. Peace...
Turkish PM ordered his loyalists to kill anybody who still holds bridges as hostage. Shit is crazy. I am safe at a friends house. Grandpa, thanks. I will write about Kurdistan once dust settles.
TV channels are giving the news fed to them by government. I get updates live from friends and family. Army's top guy is lost. Nobody knows where the hell he is. President Erdogan talks only on the phone doing facetime with news channels. Crazy things going on.
Guys. A fighter jet bombed the neighboring street and my building shaked. I am terrified. Please pray for me. Pray
Lots of reports that fighters are flying low with afterburners on. Possibly a sonic boom and not a bombing?
Two things happened at the same time. Jets flew over and a hand grenade exploded. Not sure what the heck is going on.
