Coup Underway in Turkey

[Magda Hassan]

From the "Delicate Operatons" article:

Some forgot, that on the eve of the putsch, Russian geopolitician and Eurasianist Aleksandr Dugin was on a several-day visit to Turkey. His presence on the evening of July 15th at a Turkish airport, is perceived as a fun coincidence that doesn't deserve attention. But in fact he was in Turkey as a guest of Turkish nationalists-Eurasianists of the organization "Ergenekon", which a decade ago tried to overthrow Erdogan. The organization consists of Turkish military-Eurasianists, most of whom were then rounded up by the Turkish authorities to jail. Aleksandr Dugin was again in Turkey, just before "Ergenekon" members were arrested. What a coincidence!

You got to wonder why Erdogan didn't heap blame on the Russians for the coup.

You also have to wonder why a "CIA guy leading the "coup"" (Barkey) would need to watch it unfold on CNN (You know, that's exactly how I got my information about the coup, right here in Texas...), or why he would need the hotel to arrange a phone call to CNN when he had a cell phone, a smart phone, and a laptop (I have a cell phone, a smart phone, and a laptop...), especially in light of the ominous fact that he was "accused of making several telephone conversations on the coup night." (I'm pretty sure I did that too...)

::bluebaron:: Surely just checking out the air base that Erdogan had offered to share with the Russians?
