    I'm back after getting stuck at the Airport.
    IT WAS CRAZY!!!
    No one knew what to do. I was flying from south of Turkey to Istanbul with my wife. And we started watching Tanks pulling off in front of the Istanbul's main airport. We waited in the bus to go to our plane but then things got more serious in Istanbul. The bridges and the roads were closed and military declared curfew.
    On government channel a really scared looking women announced that the military took control. We decided not to leave where we are since we could have stock at the airport in Istanbul. Then our planes got cancelled. We waited for luggages.
    In the meantime everybody was passing news to each other.
    We found a shuttle back to my parents home.
    And then they said the coup attempt is unsuccessfull.
    But now we get some news that Turkish parliament got hit by rockets aimed from Military helicopters.
    Also some pro-government people are on the streets celebrating the return of their Supreme leader Erdogan.
    In social media people are saying this whole thing was a production for Erdogan to tighten his grip over the country.

    • Thanks people. Even if I don't know you, it's really nice to hear your wishes. The aftermath looks pretty terrible. And we don't know what's coming up.Beeswax
    • It was surreal. And it still is. Economy will get hurt really badly. Tourism was already in crisis now completely finished. More so, this gave Erdogan a big oppBeeswax
    • to rule the country singlehandedly. Whoever criticises government will be labeled "putschist". Only pro-gov newspapers were printed today. Sucks.Beeswax
