The Coup : The World Turned Upside Down

the Turks to restore order and get ready. This is also a sign of bad

In the social aspect, I also find a similarity in the division of the people, especially among the high class/politicians. For both revolutions, there has been people from powerful and wealthy positions who has admitted the injustices and are supporting the revolution. Moreover, there are also similarities between the monarchs or, in our case the president. For both revolutions, the monarch/president has decided to use force or was at least planning to use force to suppress the protests. The consequence of this decision of the monarch/president was similar as well. The force had only angered the people more and failed in suppressing them.

Soldiers coming back from the war in the east and see that a corruption keep going. They are asking themselves what they fought for and what their mates died for. But they are manage to handle with weapons Daria Kaleniuk states to Afterposten reporter. - A new insurrection will not be peaceful. I sincerely hope that it won't happen. A present regime and a president must to grasp how dangerous to keep doing that they

As Charles Bergquist observes, "Crises in Colombia tend to generate cycles of violence instead of mutations in the political regime." The reason is simple: regime changes in Colombia tend to produce very little change in anything other than nominal rule. Since Colombia's independence from Spain in the early 19th century, Colombia has seen a series of civil wars and secessions (Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama the last coming rather conveniently at a time when the U.S. was prepared to pay millions for a canal through its nation preparation that later resulted in a multi-million dollar redress to Columbia). Colombia's political history, therefore, has been colored by outside influences pulling on the two dominant liberal and conservative parties, with violent exchanges, and long periods of instability being the consequences. While regime changes have occurred, they have not produced significant improvements. Rather, Colombia in the 20th century has become a nesting ground for paramilitary forces and drug traffickers, with U.S. Central Intelligence operatives contributing heavily to the violent conflict that has risen between regimes. This paper will examine the regime types that preceded the Rojas Pinilla regime in mid-20th century Colombia, analyze their similarities and differences, and discuss the extent to which Rojas Pinilla reached his goals and objectives.

The denial of the Armenian genocide and the use of the term “alleged” are insults to those who have agitated over the years in highlighting the genocide and the Armenian people themselves. The pictorial anger and anguish of this painful traumatic experience had left the survivors of this horrific event with deep scars beyond repairs. The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were a dark world for the Armenians who were held helpless and bound at the treacherous hand of the Muslim Turks of the Ottoman Empire in Turkey. The Armenian Genocide includes: the context of power of the Ottoman Empire, the phases of destruction and Turkey’s refusal to acknowledge the genocide and provide support to the Armenians.

Vargas of Brazil took power using a military coup which allowed new ideas of politics to be represented instead of the previous political control. Vargas centralized power by putting power in the hands of the federal government, which angered local government authorities and even replaced the local leader with new forms of elections. Vargas was able to make many changes because he had authoritarian power through the federal government, but overpowering state government he created a hostile and segregated political system. Vargas nationalized rail and sea transportation, which let him have full control of the country corporation’s shipments. Vargas wanted to support workers so he built houses for urban workers. Vargas was able to take full credit

They endure near daily causalities and recently Ankara has undertaken a bifurcated anti-terror program against the PKK and the IS. Frequent attacks in Turkey by the IS and the PKK has driven Turkey to kill 260 Kurdish militants as of August 1, 2015. The reasoning for these death tolls within a week-long air raid in northern Iraq is due to nine civilian causalities in Turkey and Iraq. "For the peace and security of our people, the fight against terror organi[z]ations will continue without interruption,” as stated by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. The PKK’s rebellion for rights and power for Turkey’s Kurdish minority has been ongoing for the past thirty years and has left tens of thousands dead. Though a ceasefire was issued in 2013, Turkey’s Kurdish militants have sought refuge in northern Iraq where the PKK has been tolerated and continue to dodge such attacks. The PKK has been instructed to terminate fire in populated areas. Turkey’s president Erdogan hopes to shut down this “fascist” organization by the end of the year. Turkey’s and Iraq’s goals are to see the Kurds and their parties purged from their

By the way, there is a breakaway state in the north run by the Kurds who want to fight IS (which is a good thing) but the Turkish authorities think they are bad, so we have to say they are bad whilst secretly thinking they're good and giving

I decided to do my paper on the terrorist organization named “Kurdistan Workers’ party” from what I have read about them they are a very interesting group, but violent. The main reason for their attacks is to form a Kurdistan state within Turkey. Some people apart of this organization feel that Turkey has oppressed their culture. They want to fight Turkish officials to prove their point. The group was started by Abdullah Ocalan, a man who believes in Marxist-lenist ideas. Abdullah now resides in a Turkish prison but still has control over what the PKK (Kurdish workers’ party) does.

Turkey has been a key player against the PKK. Geography, politics and history have conspired to render 30 million Kurds the largest stateless people in the Middle East. The Government of Turkey has long denied the Kurdish population, located largely in the southeast, basic political, cultural, and linguistic rights. The government of Turkey has in turn waged an intense campaign to suppress PKK terrorism, targeting active PKK units as well as persons they believe support or sympathize with the PKK. As part of its fight against the PKK, the Government forcibly displaced noncombatants, failed to resolve extra judicial killings, tortured civilians, and abridged freedom of expression. The Turkish government has also managed to burn over 4,000 villages forcing Kurds to flee from their homeland. Finally, the Turkish government estimates that the conflict with the PKK has exacted a high financial drain on the

The third controversy surround the AKP especially the Prime Minister is his desire to change the constitution in order to give the president more power, so far the president of Turkey holds a ceremonial role as the Queen of England does. R.T.E plans to run for presidency in the 2014 election because the rules of his own party bar him from seeking a fourth term as Prime Minister. Changing the constitution for a presidential system would insure his hold onto power since he is not interested in being a solely ceremonial president. With so many controversies in the background it is with no surprise that the Gezi Park protest arose.

Turkey is a country poised between Asia and Europe. This country of 71 million people is crucial to economic developments as it lies between producers and consumers, supply and demand. While seen as a bridge between the East and West, this majority Muslim country is also torn between both worlds. Its secular government has a long history of struggles between those who feel their country’s identity lies in the Middle East, those who desire full accession to the European Union (EU), and all those in between. The Turkish government’s main foreign policy goals are to make Turkey an integral part of the European Union

The bloody coup attempt on July 15 orchestrated by the members of a particular terrorist organization infiltrating the ranks of Turkish armed forces failed due to the adamant and uncompromising attitude of the Turkish people and the Turkish political leadership. The widespread assumption about Western backing of the coup among the general

On July 15th 2016, the nation of Turkey was shakened by an attempted military coup. The plot was originally planned for the following day. However, it is believed that the Turkish secret service became aware of the plan, forcing the conspirators to act earlier. The putschists were able to carry out synchronized attacks on the Turkish cities of Istanbul, Ankara, and Marmaris. In Ankara the parliament building was seized. The target in Marmaris was to capture and kill President Erdogan, who was vacationing at the Mediterranean resort town. The military action began at around 10:00 PM, with the closing of two Istanbul bridges connecting Europe and Asia. Coinciding with this, up to six F-16 fighter jets began a series of passes over the city of Ankara, refueling from four tanker planes that were flown from Incirlik air base. Incirlik is a large air force base were NATO and US forces are stationed. While these attacks were taking place in Turkey’s two largest cities, helicopters from Cigli airbase carried commando teams to carry out attacks on the hotel where Tayyip Erdogan was presumably vacationing. Erdogan narrowly escaped and was able to fly to Istanbul. While en route, the television network seized, returned to the air. Using social media, Erdogan was able to rally his supporters and told them to take to the streets. Mosques broadcasted calls for support. Interestingly, a significant proportion of

Turkey has been inhabited for thousands of years, since the Paleolithic Age. From its extremely detailed and complicated history to its rich ethnic heritage, Turkey is a culturally diverse land where east meets west. Turkey is located at the crossroads of both Asia and Europe, which makes it politically and economically significant to both eastern and western regions. Historically, Turkey was part of the cradle of civilization, when it was known as “Asia Minor”. When it was colonized by the Ancient Greeks, it was introduced into western European influence, along with the establishment of the Byzantine Empire (Now, present day Istanbul) by the Romans. The capture of the city by the Ottoman Empire, however, brought it back to Eastern control. Unfortunately, the Ottoman Empire began slowly declining for several centuries, finally bringing the fall of the empire and thus establishing the Turkish Republic in 1923. This modern nation-state was forged by the reforms of Mustafa Kemal. Kemal sought to impose a secular— rather, laïcité, democratic system, in a predominantly Islamic nation; this began Turkey’s course toward progression and modernization. “My people are going to learn the principles of democracy the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will, every man can follow his own conscience provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him act against the liberty of his fellow men.”.
