Any Turks in the house?

I am intrigued to know what people think - plotting Generals getting what they deserve, or oppressive government sending innocent Generals to prison?

(I must admit I don't know enough about the politics in Turkey to have a firm opinion either way, but I believe that Turkey will become more and more influencial as a country and we should therefore pay attention to the unfolding event)
 
I was only just watching this yesterday in Turkish territory MJ.......

From my hilltop retreat, you can see The Brass to the left 3/4 up the shot keeping a close eye on the action on the bend on the road......

My understanding is that ever since Attaturk the military has occupied a special position in Turkish politics. It is the body that steps in when the civilians have a made a mess of things. What I suspect is going on (but I have no special knowledge on this) is that this is a pre-emptive strike by the government - they are getting rid of their only real threat.
 
Then they blew the internals of the building, I ran for cover but got one last shot of the smoke.......
