RT’s and Colonel Cassad’s reports of military coup in Turkey aftermath
The military coup in Turkey. Intermediate – 2 – Colonel Cassad
After the suppression of organized resistance, he began hunting for those who are escaped arrest.
1. 8 people fled in a helicopter “Black Hawk” in Greece. Turkey demanded that the car and the fugitives. Greece has agreed and is discussing with Turkey the issue of transfer.
The Greeks put a condition that in relation to persons who have
requested asylum in the Greek legal procedures have been complied with.
2.
The putschists captured frigate “Yavuz” and still there is held hostage
by a few officers, including the commander of the Turkish Navy.
They also kidnapped the commander of the Turkish Air Force, who was
kidnapped by conspirators from the wedding of his daughter – right in
the wedding ceremony appeared to 5 helicopters, which landed in
helicopters and pushed the commander and several officers. Work underway for their release.
The situation with the stolen frigate is in the process of decision. I think in the short term or the rebels surrender or try to flee to another country, but that is very difficult to do. It is obvious that some of the participants will try to escape the coup, and one way or another to leave the country. Apart from Greece obviously will attempt to run through Iraq or Syria.
3. By 4 o’clock in Turkey arrested more than 3,000 participants in the coup. The death toll is approaching the figure of 300 wounded from 2200 to 2500.
Under the guise of Erdogan dismissed nearly 3,000 judges in political
circles connected with Erdogan to discuss the issue of the return of the
death penalty in relation to the coup organizers. Also there are reports that some of the soldiers were killed after being handed over their weapons.
It is obvious that the coup will be followed by a big purge of army and
security services, as well as the concentration of will power in the
hands of Erdogan.
Very funny that the “defense of democracy” Erdogan speaks it, which in
Europe last year in the press constantly denounced as an enemy of
freedom and democracy.
4. Almost all the major external players expressed support for Erdogan. Obama went even further and called on all political forces in Turkey to rally around the current government.
Along the way, the US stated that extradition Gulen from Turkey
requests can not be obtained, and if Turkey wants the United States to
present something, let them show evidence of involvement in a coup
Gulen.
US reaction came in response to accusations by Erdogan, who said that
in the coup, including fault “unfriendly country” harboring Gulen. However, it is the traditional attack against Erdogan in Washington, we’ve seen a lot over the last year.
In Iran, on the incident stated that it is the price paid for the support of Erdogan terrorists.
5.
The Mayor of Ankara said that the pilot immediately shot down a Russian
Su-24 bomber was among the conspirators, which of course it is
possible, given the large role of the officer in the Air Force ended
coup.
On the other hand, the Turks might just use a convenient pretext to the
coup that to resolve the issue with the punishment of those responsible
for the downed plane, and there can be a convenient opportunity to
present Russia conditional head of direct artist whatever that was he in
a coup or an afterthought in this case fastened.
In general, those who had little Davutoglu and business Celik, can
count on the fact that the victim and the pilot to destroy our bomber.
6. The movement of tankers through the Bosporus restored. Air traffic Turkey recovered only partially. By evening / tomorrow morning on the idea it will bounce back. Russia so far has suspended air service with Turkey.
In this regard, the Russian tour operators have stated that they would
return the money to those whose holiday fell in because of the attempted
military coup.
Turkey coup attempt aftermath: Over 2,800 arrested, at least 265 killed, 1,440 injured
