Beloved Istanbul

I have been weeping. Tears streaming down my face for 27 hours. Once I feel I can't cry anymore, I drink water, just so my eyes will produce more tears. 
My beloved Istanbul, my beloved Turkish readers. My heart has never left you. My heart is broken in so many pieces, I can not wrap my head around how much I miss you, want my in laws to be ok and want my Beloved husband here. 
  I knew about the coup as it was happening. My beloved was not sleeping as F-16's were flying over his head, and bombing. Roads blocked so he wasn't able to get home to a Western (for proction of his family) In Western Trakya. Friends I have not heard from. I don't know if they are dead or alive. I pray they are alive. I don't know. My beloved Husband is OK but, beheadings on the Bosphorus Bridge, Soliders jumping off the Bridge to avoid being beheaded. And younger than some of my own kids. I stand behind the people. I condemn the beheadings of the soldiers. I condemn the autrocities the Turkish Prime Minister has done the to the people over the last few years. I condemn those who have terrorized the people of Turkey. There is no excuse to what the Dictator has done to the people and there is no stopping him either. I was hoping the Military would over throw the vicious cycle of the PM in Turkey. For all the crimes he has committed to the peoples of the Turkey. 

My beloved Istanbul. Never lose your fear. Never use fear and keep your mind and body in control, and you will defeat this master manipulator. 
There are many people with you. Never give up hope. 

Beloved Istanbul, you have Mustafa Kemaml Ataturk in you... Remember him and his words: 
"Tehre are two Mustafa Kemals. One the flesh-and- blood who now stands before you and who will pass away. The other is you, All of you here who will go to the corners of our land to spread the ideals which must be defended with your lives if necessary. I stand for the nation's dreams, and my life's work is to make them come true." 

Please keep in mind Ataturk's words when he said:
"Those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable. We are against such a situation and will not allow it. Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people; it is against just such people that we have fought and will continue to fight."

How wise beloved Ataturk, Baba Turk was when he wrote everything he wrote. Turkey will rise. Turks bleed the Turk blood of your fathers and your land you have fought to preserve. 

Barış to my Turkısh readers
Mustafa Kemal is the true leader of this beloved land I love.
