The coup failed. The army group that led it was in relative minority, and Erdogan sent his supporters to the streets (essentially acting as human shields as the soldiers were obviously reluctant to use force against civilians). Some of said supporters ended up lynching the would be revolutionaries, by the way.
This is very important, since Erdogan will be able to get away with a lot more than he previously could. Stay strong Turkey...

lynching, because that shows you're civilised and the best mindset for your country.

My mom works in the turkish embassy and she explained to me that their current president is trying to bring islamism back to turkey where most people dont want that because the women would lose all of their rights, their would be mandatory praying and all of that religious stuff also turkey is in the begining of a dictatorship, the same way sadam and khadafi dictatorship started. Turkish people are just trying to live peacefully but in their perspective with this president, he might be the ticket in to most terrorist groups out there. Good luck to you all
Edit: sorry for bad english

its shitty, but at the same time its the best way to show you're not civilized and don't have the best mindset for your country
which is a really powerful tool in a lot of ways. It makes future coups less attractive

"This uprising is a gift from God to us because this will be a reason to cleanse our army."
He literally said that. Yet, no media outlets here are putting any of this into question and blindly following the narrative of the turkish government. How fucking gullible can people even be, jesus christ

I'd doubt that the coup itself was fake - the Kurds are *all* on about how the coup itself was because a large amount of anti-Erdogan military officials were about to be forcibly retired, so they more or less figured this was their last chance to have a coup as an "option" for use. So they tried. Since it didn't work Erdogan gets carte blanche to do as he pleases and to tar his enemies as collaborators, sympathizers, and traitors - it's SOP for any state that suffers from a coup and manages to retain state power.
The West just prefers the nicer narrative because Turkey is a major ally and has been for 50+ years.
