AFTER months in hospital and several operations, Sabri Unal is beginning to regain the use of his right arm. On July 15th last year, alarmed by reports of an army coup, Mr Unal was injured in a forlorn attempt to block a pair of tanks roaring down an Istanbul avenue. When the first tank showed no signs of stopping, he dived between its tracks, avoiding death by a split second. When another approached moments later, he threw himself to the ground once again.

"As long as I can remember," he says, "I have been against coups everywhere."
