Now that the immediate threat from the attempted coup has subsided things are moving very quickly. Actions and decisions made over the next few days have the potential to significantly impact the future pattern and fabric of Turkish society significantly. International Turkey Network is calling everyone to join in an intense period of global prayer for Turkey. The government is reasserting its control and the mood has moved from one of unity against the attempted coup to one where old factions are again looking to protect or entrench their positions. Many are still on the streets where passions and emotions are running high, not all actions are well judged or positive. Media reports crowds crying ‘Allahu Akbar’ with occasions of violence. Thousands of judges and prosecutors have been arrested and similar numbers the police and military in a ‘purge’. Turkish people are cautious what they report. There have been isolated reports of some church properties being damaged by crowds.
