Interesting development following the failed coup and considering Turkey’s recent aggressions in Iraq and Syria as well as the Kurd’s territorial gains against ISIL.

I see some very scary similarities to Hitler and the Third Reich.

If I recall correctly, Erdogan arrested or fired 120,000ish government employees/civil servants for ties to the attempted coup.

Now it seems they’re pulling a page from the Iranian/North Korean/Chinese playbook (limit global communication to facilitate “disappearing” of persons deemed undesirable or troublemakers by the government without news spreading internationally).
