Erdogan spokesman: Claims of staged coup are nonsensical
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleErdogan’s spokesman hits out at claims that last week’s attempted coup in the country was orchestrated to strengthen the president’s position.
“It is really nonsensical. This is no different really than claiming 9/11 was orchestrated by the United States — and that the Paris and Nice attacks were orchestrated by the French government,” he tells foreign reporters.
The crackdown implemented in the wake of the quickly quashed putsch has led some to speculate the entire incident was a false flag operation.
