I don't know about the rest of this stuff, but I was in Turkey during the
military coup of 1980. It was so welcome (especially to the Americans who
lived there). The battles between right and left (Demirel and Ecevit led)
were so pervasive it was not safe for a kid to go to the store for a loaf of
bread. When General Evren followed the Turkish constitution and used his
military to take over the country, it was the best thing that ever happened.
The only one who wasn't relieved was the American government who began
braying about free elections. Somehow they weren't worried about the kids
who got beat up and killed on their way to the store. Anyway, the Turkish
military is charged with keeping order but not staying in power, so General
Evren left and they got their free elections back. Now you can see where the
CIA has led them. It's always the same. It's a good thing that most Turks
are a pretty sensible people. I was quite amazed at the time that the
American government was so worried about free elections in Turkey, when they
were so very understanding about the Idi Amin types. Ahhh, the mysteries of
it all. Prudy
