    ✔ @ForeignAffairs The failed coup has made Turkey weaker and therefore more vulnerable to Russian coercion.

    Nazlı Ilıcak among 42 journalists to be detained as part of gov’t crackdown on media #Turkey
    https://www.turkishminute.com/2016/0...ackdown-media/

    Erdogan is not only arresting coup plotters but those still loyal to Turkish who have not openly voiced support for Erdogan.....

    Credible report: loyal officers of Turkish Armed Forces that we know, who were against coup, have been arrested for NOT being pro-Erdogan !!

    Turkey basically attempted to blackmail the EU with the Syrian refugees to get 3B Euros and free visa travel and still is bullying the US....knowing full well they have no court verifiable evidence to link Gulen to the coup as requested by the US....

    Ties with Turkey will be impacted if U.S. doesn't extradite Gulen: minister
    http://reut.rs/29ZTgwp

    Turkey has been told what they need to submit and yet Turkey still has submitted nothing....as they have absolutely nothing....

    Erdogan is basically driving Turkey into far more isolation that they were before the coup...his "buddies are now Putin and Khamenei"....

    Even KSA and the GCC has remained largely silent....
