Note:


Fahir Iz. on politics
Who knows which of the Generals thinks what?
Who are the young men?
How divided is the army?
On March 9 1971, the young officers had prepared a left wing coup. One of the top generals went to them and convinced them that the generals were with them; "leave it to us". 3 days later - a right wing coup.
But agrees left wing unlikely now.
How far right will army go?
Will they fight each other?
Army takeover will be accepted but will not solve the problems.
