But Turkey is a real mess at this point.

Erdoğan's government seems to be moderating some of its positions and is dealing with internal extremists from all sides. What makes you think that a military government would improve the situation?

If you are butt hurt about the Russian aircraft that have been shot down -- the military pulled the trigger.

Erdoğan's government was elected democratically just like Putin's government is. Ironically, both Erdoğan and Putin use military suppression of secessionist political factions. Pot calling the kettle black

And so was Hitler elected democratically.... Erdogan is a menace, too bad the coup has failed

I was hoping for another Morsi type coup, but no luck this time, not unless Assad decides to help the Turkish generals .
