I think Turkey's safe because the military is determined to remain secularist.
Pakistan is iffy; despite popular misconceptions, there is a very strong strain of jihadism in the military.
Putin's words in Moscow did not refer to Pakitan's military in the singular; he used the word 'armies' implying different corps commanders with competing loyalties.
