Lavrov and Kerry are together in Moscow presumably comparing notes.brokenwheel said:
It sounds from Lavrov that the Russians are taking a similar line to the Americans, remember they aren't a fan of Erdogan either...Chameleon said:If this is what it appears to be, (I.e. a Western backed coup to install a secular leader), then this is very, very good news for the West. Only this to watch out for is Russia's retaliation. In recent days Putin's rhetoric has got softer, lets hope that this doesn't harden it up again. All eyes to the Baltics.

Well its rural. it's also got significant ethnic minorities. Not sure how many Armenias are left but there's the Kurds as well and Georgians too in the NE.Cookie said:

A joint-effort by Russia and the west would probably be a decent result compared to Russia taking over. However much they do not like Erdogan, I suspect that they would like a pro-West pansy even less.brokenwheel said:

Basically the bits (that used to be greek populated) at the west end, particularly coastal are far more europeanised than the rest. This is the part most tourists go to.Cookie said:

However like the rest of Europe their birth rate is far lower than further east.
Further east there is also a big chunk of Kurdistan and also a few "secret armenians" to complicate matters.0 -

I don't think it's possible to ignore this. This will, and certainly ought to be causing nightmares in the foreign ministries of the western world. Turkey borders Syria and so this is far more dangerous than the previous umpteen coups. The coup needs to succeed or fail rapidly, at the moment it looks like the former. I suspect the realpolitik approach is to ensure Turkey continues as a stable and viable state and other considerations take a seat.Luckyguy1983 said:

Nobody's saying that a Turkish military dictatorship will be allowed into the EU - or even allowed to continue the negotiations.

Greece joined EEC: 1981
Rule of Estado Novo ended: 1974
Portugal joined EEC: 1986
Rule of Franco ended: 1975
Spain joined EEC: 1986
So there may not be a huge gap between the end of a military regime and steps towards EU accession. (Previous Turkish military regimes have lasted only for a couple of years, though with lingering influence for years after, but note past performance is no guide for future performance.)

The question of how long Turkish coups last is probably best answered by looking at previous Turkish military takeovers - generally a couple of years of actual rule, but with a few more years of strong background influence before fading out again.viewcode said:

It's not like Turkey was only 5 years away from joining the EU - if that had been the case then a coup attempt would obviously knock the timetable right back. But a decade or two or more might have been a fair bet yesterday, and even fairly optimistically leaning more towards two. So a short sharp coup (which has been the norm in Turkey) and a redirection of the country's path (resetting democracy in a more secular pattern and with a much weaker role for the president to prevent a future strongman-figure emerging) could well fit in with this EU accession schedule, and it's entirely plausible it could bring it forward.0 -
