Leading party in Turkey, the AKP, had nearly 300,000 pre-coup emails leaked by the wonderful people over at Wikileaks, have a read of them here: wikileaks.org
This situation in Turkey is spiraling out of control for its people, with social media eradicated, the first coup in decades being possibly fabricated and US nuclear weapons being, essentially, held hostage for Gulen.
Isnt it about time we showed our Turkish (and Kurdish) Brothers and Sisters some love, how to we help the Turkish people?

The army in Turkey is Nationalists (Kemal).
Erdogan is pro-relegion… but not Saudi Arabia levels…
Either way you can't be "pro" any major faction there, as they are not about our cause.

Aside from this coup ousting and imprisoning many secularists, im sure many still are signed up, so i assume theyd be okay with a modern, socialist movement. However, from the very few Turks ive spoke too, they despise the Kurds and any idea of Kurdistan, this is a problem, as any revolt in Turkey for a leftists cause will undoubtedly be supported by Kurds.
Hudson Morris
Besides, iim on the side of this coup being a false flag, so there is only one side imo.
Isaiah Jackson
The rise of the HDP showed that a united opposition of Kurds, leftists, other minorities, and old-school Kemalists is entirely workable, and in the current environment entirely likely. It's clear that fair bits of the Army aren't happy, as the ringleaders were all from the Kurdistan front. And the Gulenists, who have pull with Muslim moderates, could get in on this too. I think this is a powerful potential alliance in Turkey, and as Erdogan cracks down and the contradictions in his system grow it can only get stronger.

one of the emails shows that Barzani is helping plot to kill the PKK. fucking traitor scum.

Nationalism is a shitty drug.
Like in Egypt, Turkey didn't have "bourgies" so the army had to become the bourgies.
And now the army has too much power and Erdogan had to cut it.
So, it doesn't really matter, if the coup was from US not liking him saying sorry to Russia and no to Israel (Obama didn't accept him when opening a Mosque or something in Washington some time ago), or if the coup was let to be done in order to be suppresed.
Neither side is "pro-Kurdistan". Neither side is "left". Both sides are about power. And the people just didn't want the army taking over, AGAIN.

YEP!
He's trying to be for Turkey what Putin is for Russia.

But he suffers form overconfidence.
Leo Price

Evan Thomas
Fucking quoting system.
This is pretty hard.

Gulenists are just as reactionary as the AKP, fuck off
al-monitor.com
As for the Kemalists they are just as reactionary as anyone else on the kurdish issue considering they are Nationalists
They are aiming for total annihilation of the PKK and it's support base, just look at the indiscriminate destruction of entire Kurdish cities in the southeast

Ha! Nice try Gülen! Long live akp
Jaxon Wright
You should of looked more closely on twitter (especially Kurdish twitter), the only ones out on the streets are reactionary AKP Islamists beating up conscript soldiers. Furthermore the failure of the coup has empowered fascists to attack leftist neighbourhoods
Dylan Gomez
Both Gülenists and AKP supporters and Kemalists are all just reactionary scum.
Turkey is nothing but a Mediterranean Russia at this point. At least Putin knows how to purge his opposition with theatrical grace.
Dominic Rodriguez
No, Gülen is responsible for all this and he's a traitor. I'm totally not erdogan btw, haha
Justin Phillips
What's with the flag? Don't you know actual anti-capitalist muslims protested against AKP during the 2013 Gezi park protests?
Luke Wood
I was making a joke about how erdogan hilariously blames the gulenists for everything.

I have been looking over these emails for the past hour and I believe I have found something NOBODY is talking about. The only thing the Erdogan got right was the coup was foreign in conception and I'm financing. The plotter of the coup fled Turkey during the 80s due to his Hardline view of the Armenian genocide. For the past several decades he has been growing support among the American people to one day return and overthrow democracy. But he failed and now I know the true mastermind behind this coup is none other than Cenk Uygur of the tyt. Come on it's all so obvious. His organization is literally the same name as the neo fascist who committed the genocide he so dearly denies. Spread the word comrades Cenk Uygur is behind ALL of this.
