FIRST HERO, THEN TERRORIST

(A USUAL CASE OF JULY 15TH, 2016 COUP ATTEMPT IN TURKEY)

1. After the #coup attempt we were first declared as heroes, because we coerced TCG YAVUZ Frigate to release the Fleet Commander, hostage on the ship. But then we were expelled as terrorists. 2. To me, merely this issue can prove that #July15 is not a normal #coup attempt, but a trap to Turkish Nation and armed forces from the ones to seize their sinister goals.
