Commenting on the recent coup in Turkey, Dr. Bernd Liedtke, a German expert on the country, and Polish politician Andrzej Zapałowski told Sputnik that it might have been a staged event which President Erdogan might use as a bold attempt to expedite changes to the country’s constitution and pave the way for the further Islamization of the country.

“Complicated, terrible and frightening;” this is how Dr. Bernd Liedtke described the current situation in Turkey.
He noted that previous coups in the country had been very well-planned and worked well. However, this one had somehow failed.

>“The way the [Turkish] president is responding to the coup, by removing thousands of judges and prosecutors from the judiciary system and bringing the death penalty back, speaks of some hidden agenda,” he told Sputnik Deutschland.

The expert recounts that Recep Tayyip Erdogan had actually wanted to change the country’s constitution but failed due to the lack of a parliamentary majority.

“Thus he makes use of this, in order to change the constitution of 1982 and to pass on his own autocratic idea of the governmental system. And he is going to do it now,” Dr. Liedtke said.

The expert noted that already-strained relations between the EU and Ankara are poised to deteriorate even further as the possible reintroduction of the death penalty in Turkey has caused concerns within the European block.
