Why Turkey May Need a Coup d'État

Submitted by David, May 4, 2007 03:23

I live in Turkey and I have been following developes very closely both with the Turkish press as well as with the international. Your article is the first article that I have come across (other that millitary statements and those coming out of the Cumhuriyet newspaper) that havn't been espousing "peace, love, human rights, and granolla". Bravo! Let's home this leads to more of a dialectic.

By the way, one correction: Turkey is not all Suni - some people put alavis as making up upwards of 30% of the population.
