The Turkish military used to consider itself the protectors of Kemalism, especially westernisation and secularism. Can anyone here tell me whether that's still the case?

hi im from the future. here are the big beats:

BRICS supports Erdogan

The EU will call for an end to the violence and demand things like a democratic election take place immediately which will be 100% corruption free. also they will host the olympics later

The US will support "rebels", Secretary Clinton will make a weird and factually incorrect statement about Erdogan to justify supporting him


technocrat press will blather about the silicon valley man's burden

Fun fact the Turkish military is constitutionally obligated to vomit out islamist shitbags. Institutionalized bulemia has kept them comfortably less poo poo that their middle eastern neighbors for decades.

I can see this going really badly if it fails, like how the coup attempt in Venezuela let Chavez justify dismantling any remaining independent institutions afterwards.

Turkish citizens generally support the military more than any of the other power structures in Turkey, from what I've heard. The fact that the Turkish govt was funding ISIS was probably enough that the military decided it was time to kick that clause in the Turkish constitution that basically requires them to kick out any non-secular govt.
