		Some members of the left-wing parties have always described the May 27 coup as a coup staged with "good intentions." During the meetings that were held for the third anniversary of the Feb. 28 coup, the same members emphasized the similarity between these two coups.

	COUP 2K
		In his study, Luttwak writes that while a coup may have characteristics of other, more violent forms of extra-legal seizure of power, "the coup is not necessarily assisted by either the intervention of the masses, or, to any significant degree, by military-type force."
		Normally, a coup does not seek to destroy the basic structure of the existing government, which is more typical of a revolution or a war for liberation.
		Luttwak explains that a coup "operates by taking advantage of this machine-like behavior: during the coup because it uses parts of the state apparatus to seize the controlling levers; afterwards because the value of the 'levers' depends on the fact that the state is a machine."
