It’s a the middle east, it’s always a mess. Erdogan sucks, but there’s a 612% chance that whoever overthrows him will also suck.

The military is a force for moderation in Turkey. This is a good thing.

Not necessarily. Erdogan is an Islamist. The Turkish military have always been secularist.

Stay tuned!

The armed forces tended to desire secular rule.

Erdogan is religious. It's much more likely that military rule will be a major improvement. You don't want democracy if the people are religious. It just leads to sharia.
