"Turning point in Turkey
A military coup against a civilian government is heard of. But seldom or never do we hear that a civilian government coup against the military. The aim of this column is not to analyse what happened in Sri Lanka after the defeat of the LTTE. Rather, in keeping with the world watch logo, the focus is going to be on Turkey, nearly a century ago a major power.
What is happening in Turkey these days makes many analysts wonder whether the country's military, which in the past has thrown out four civilian governments at the flimsiest excuse, is losing its grip on power."
