Trouble...

Migrants who landed in Greece.

The coup attempt took Turkey out of Europe and placed it squarely in the Middle East. It tore away the country's stability. This added to ISIS suicide attacks; fighting with the Kurdish  (PKK); wholesale destruction of Kurdish towns by Turkey's security forces [given immunity]; and the ongoing Low-level violence targeting women.

 A government witch hunt for "putschists" and massive violent reprisals means more anger, more polarization and a destabilized population that is more likely to seek protection from outside. Groups like ISIS will likely capitalize on this disenchantment to seek more recruits.

The ruling party has systematically throttled the independence of state institutions, the media, education, civil society, and the highest courts in the land. It has tried to muzzle the army through a series of court cases that jailed hundreds of officers. 

Friday's tragedy is largely self-inflicted by a government who trade in a functioning democracy for dictatorial power. .  More Migrants to Europe ahead. Just a thought.
