I sincerely hope the US doesn't try "regime change" in Ankara.  That course of action would be foolish at the outer bounds of foolishness.

Likely explosive. The only plausible candidates are the now discredited "secularist" generals and colonels.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Who said anything about "trying?"

Turkey already has Ergenekon.

It's not like the USA would have to do much to apply pressure.
