Yeah sadly, we seem to be entering a new dangerous phase. It is a shame if Turkey does go under as it is probably the only muslim country that has a democratically elected government that appears on the face of it to be successful.

A true win for democracy.

265 reported deaths as a result of the coup, including 104 soldiers involved in the plot.
