This week we decide to explore some of the events of the early 60s and Turkey's brand new very stable political situation. Including two failed coups orchestrated by the same person with some help (and hindrance) from some characters we're already extremely tired of. We also go into the attempted assassination on Ismet Inonu and why it may have happened and what Cyprus has to do with it all?
