I'm wondering how this works. Turkey's in NATO. What if the Kurds declare independence? Does NATO have an obligation to fight the Generals who took power? etc

This could get weird.

It’s the secular (military) against the Islamic Muslim
Over due for a take over from the KT mc Farland and Kraut.

I am wondering how Russia will react to all of this.

They were no fans of Erdogan, and this represents a strategic opportunity to make inroads with the military in Turkey.

Thus—control of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosphorus?

They already have control of Crimea.

Also, they are defending Assad in Syria, so Assad will be beholden to Russia for his survival.

Stay tuned......
