It was only a matter of time. Many unhappy people when I lived there and things have gotten worse since then.....
Erdogan is a pretty tough and long lived ruler!! When I was there, there were riots and beatings to people trying to protect an ancient part of Taxim from being turned into a shopping mall ...... making money for someone .... I wonder who?

I thought this was a Coupe spotting thread but just read the news, I never thought there would be a Coup so close to home...

If Erdogen can sort this problem in 24 hours, maybe we can send him and his troops to Afgan, Iraq and Syria. Would have ISIS rounded up in a week ! Its took us years and years to round up a few r..heads.

Thomas Cook rep said she would be happy to go to Turkey and follow Foreign Office advise and stay indoors!
Really useful advice after being on hold for 40 mins
or amend holiday but you will loose all your money! how can you amend something that will add the total additional cost for the new holiday on top of the holiday you have booked i.e. total loss of money from original booking!
Anyway my thoughts are with the good people of Turkey!
Hope it gets all sorted and is safe as i would still like to go as its a fabulous Country with many happy memories there!
RoadKing Yep prices already dropping you may have a distance selling clause (cooling of period) if you have JUST booked online?
Lira is now 3.979 to the pound! so its dropping big time

H_R, booked in March, just settled final payment. Spookily going to Marmaris (where Erdogan was) in Oct.
We love Turkey as well. Although I'm probably the only person who had some sympathy with the Coup plotters! Some will have only done what they were told to do.
A tank that doesn't want to be taken can cause an awful amount of damage, it would seem the crews didn't want to! Makes me wonder about the lower level commitment. Somebody badly misjudged the situation.
This seems to have been an extreme example of anti-establishment/status quo feeling, which everyone is blaming Brexit, and other examples of dis-satisfaction across Europe, on. Maybe governments should start listening to their citizens.
