My view is on this occasion aligned with the many conspiracy theorists. Was the coup both set up by the MIT (recruiting anti Erdogan generals to the cause then white anted by the MIT ..... to redefine a messianic Erdogan as the "saviour of democracy? Vast lists for the following purge were clearly pre prepared, there was no scenario planning and the runways at Istanbul could easily have been blocked with objects (but weren't). The work of six generals and 28 colonels? I don't believe so. For discussion on a new thread because it's a different line of thought.
