one of the tweet says: beware people in the government, these guys use some app called bylock, I hope you haved "cracked" it already.

another(from a gulenist it seems) says, guys don't use the same app for communications over and over, try to be more diverse (talk about an app called kakao)

I was translating the same messages* :)

Obviously, this app was known by public. So, I am not sure if they would risk themselves to use it to plan something illegal. Yet, things in Turkey are getting very amateurish in every aspects for the last decade. So, luckily for the sake of bits and pieces of Turkish democracy, this coup attempt was also amateurish.

However; I have the tendency to believe that Erdoğan knew that they were working on something nasty and he might had even encouraged it indirectly. So that, he could control it and benefit from it.

I must say that I have biased opinions against Erdoğan.

@kuscusencer I hope you have decrypted the ByLock app, Reis (an informal expression, meaning superior). Gulenci People have started use this.

And this guy seems like from the movement

@nifaksavar

I agree with you that a military coup against democratically elected president is hardly a step toward democracy. But what Erdogan is doing in return is intolerable: https://www.amnesty.org.uk/aftermath-failed-turkey-coup-tort...

Totally agree with you. What happens right now gives the feeling that the military coup has succeeded.

yours are more accurate of course. Mines were only rough translations.
