The Western 'white' Turks naturally aspire to a European lifestyle. They are educated, urbane and well-travelled.
Nice review and it agrees with my knowledge of the country. And I guess you would agree with me that a lot of people resisted the coup to prevent a
secular military-style government
and they ended up with a theocratic dictatorship.

And please answer my question on the previous page: the armed forces are humiliated, lost a lot of stuff in important jobs etc. How do you think they are going to react to regain status and self-respect?
