The Turkish Civil War

After the electoral victory of the Demokrat Parti, it was almost inevitable that conflict would break out inside of Turkey. Tensions between the government and the armed forces continued to worsen every day since the election, and now it appears everything has come to a head. The officers have already seized control over the western-most wealthy states, and it is believed that the officers have the popular support of those revolting states. To the east, Kurdish militias have begun to organize in preparation for an armed struggle with the aims of securing their independence. We were fools to think our alliance with the Kurds would last for long, but they are the even bigger fools for thinking we will not annihilate their pitiful attempts to claw a nation out of our sovereign soil. The struggle for Turkey's soul has begun, and we cannot afford to lose.
