Why do you thing the coup failed ? The military isn't a single entity that decided to make a coup, otherwise who would have stopped them ? The great Erdoğan himself ?

Wikipedia even state their numbers: "97% of Turkish Armed Forces ranking officers and 66% of the military's top leadership" sided with Erdoğan. The coup was attempted by a little over 10k people.

I frankly don't think you researched any of what you're talking about.



And this makes Turkey a military dictatorship? In the UK 100% of the forces are loyal to the government, that must be one awful military dictatorship then. sight.

I don't claim that Turkey is a functioning democracy but this doesn't make it a military dictatorship. turkey has many problems, that doesn't make it wrong or bad in every other aspect too.
