Turkey's failed military coup, explained

The attempted coup against Turkish President Erdoğan might have failed, but plenty of problems still await him.

Update 7/19/2016: Since publishing, more than 30,000 people have been purged from the Turkish military. Moreover, 15,000 employees of the Turkish education ministry have been suspended along with 21,000 teachers for their suspected links to the failed military coup.

America- Iran, Turkey, Libya, Iraq, has Dictatorship Power!

America - No No They Are Obeying Us, No Problem.

I am from Turkey and I do not support the government. In fact, Erdogan is one of the few individuals in the world that I think I literally feel hatred towards. Yet military coup is not a solution. Turkey is not Egypt, we have a democratic tradition and if Erdogan needs to go, he will go through ballot box not through some punk ass people in the uniforms.

I'm DISAPPOINTED . While the video should explain the COUP it just talked about it in the first few mins then it took a totally different direction; talking 90% about Erdogan .
the coup started by BOMBING the Parliament and ended with killing police and civilians with tank and aircraft missiles!! like. 200 dead with most civilians and two soldiers ( but for VOX that is not worth mentioning I guess) . I live in turkey and assure you that the failed coup is not about erdogan more than its about Turkey. I've been in the streets and sow anti-government as much as pro-government peacefully rejecting the coup. Turkish people showed everyone how to end a coup. i ask u Just imagine the media if the coup attempt was done in France or America.

This is an extremely biased video and does not appreciate the complexity of the Turkish situation.

If the people dont want democracy... *Is it still democratic to impose it?*

Just a philosophical question.

Me: USA

" Europe depends on Turkey to help manage the ongoing refugee crisis ? " They do nothing about it. They don't take more refugees but getting mad when Turkey complains about it. Why Turkey has to take more refugees than Europe countries ?

Turkey is a stable country in an increaingly unstable region .. a Military coup was a truly stupid idea and would have lead to the destruction of Turkey ... if Turkey wants to get rid of Erdogan then it must be done democratically ... I personally support Erdogan but i know not everyone does and this is the natural way of things in politics and life ... I pray and hope Turkey stays safe

[misteryoww]

Erdogan growing turkey economy and you hate him for that

[junaidahmedsiddiqi]

Vox putting its own agenda's on priority!

[TheTakaraputo]

[theotherside]

*You called him "authoritarian". That's all I need to know you're biased on this Vox.*

[rollojarvis]

I usually expect to learn a generally unbiased account of current affairs from Vox videos but this seems to be the most one-sided post yet.

[MrShadow]

i am never going to forget bomb sounds of that night

[StormyxD]

this channel should has the "Vox is partially or fully funded by the US government" xD

[nikkitokat]

Why are people in america judging whats best for Turkey when they are about to either have Trump or Hillary as their President.

[hudaifatawfiq]

he have lifted turkey to a level they never experienced in 90 years
i went to turkey for holiday 5 times in the last 3 years and i can tell you many and clearly the majority love him

this video intentionally left out vital information, and gives irrelevant info to alter the general opinion on the matter. this is part of the reason most americans are okay with what their army is doing in the middle east, their newsoutlets are not objective at all.
