The Turkisk Constitution has clause that allows the military to overthrow the government if it it going back toward a Caliphate, or so I have been told.

A Turkish friend of mine told me the Military will tolerate the move towards a more religious state for only so long. Erdogan may have pushed to hard. This is potentially very good news. The Turkish military wants the 21st Century and not the 6th.
