THE ECONOMIST: VOR FI SEVERE REPERCURSIUNI PENTRU DEMOCRAŢIA TURCĂ

Whether or not the attempted coup has failed, it will have severe repercussions for Turkish democracy. If Mr Erdogan survives it, he will emerge stronger and more determined than ever to crack down on domestic opponents. His long-running quest to grant himself even more political power by changing the constitution to create an executive presidency will only be strengthened. If he is overthrown, the coup-makers will face furious resistance not only from Mr Erdogan’s supporters but from those Turks convinced that the only thing worse than Mr Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian rule is to be ruled by the generals. Further bloodshed may be in store.
