Oh I could see another ‘fake’ coup being worked up to convince people to run toward Erdogan once again. The problem for the military is that there are probably a thousand Erdogan ‘moles’ in the Turkish military and any of them could flip some Colonel or General over and have them arrested. So a coup by the military is almost a no-go. It’d have to be some revolution situation where university students riot and the military and cops do little to stop them.
Kemalists still exist. They have a few Xpat media sources outside of Turkey. They have lots of supporters in the EU (they vote too).
I often run into them on Twitter. They are not toothless.
Yes, many were removed in the purge of the military. Some of the old retired generals are still very powerful.
Erdogan should be afraid. He has associated with some very evil men. He must always be looking over his shoulder.
Then there is the TAK. A very hidden group. But after what Erdogan did in Efrin? They could be motivated. Not good thing.
