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?

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
