Well, because Turkey's army is largely a conscript army(and a very, very strong one) and so far things seem fairly orderly. There is definitely support within the rank and file.

Because at this point in Turkish history, military coups are almost standardized and constitutional, if not explicitly constitutional (I have not read the Turkish constitution lately :V)

The times they are a changing.

I really like your optimism, wish i could share it. my guess though is that as early as this weekend it's going to be quite clear that this time it wont be a peaceful coup.

They wont have much left to fight for if Erdogan has left, the police unarmed and the top of the chain is under arrest and/or killed, as it seems now.

But yeah peaceful it wasn't.

Watching FOX10's livestream, which really just seems to be showing various videos and citing other news sources, and the reddit livestream... It sounds like gunfire is still ongoing

of course I can't vouch for accuracy at all, I'm just reading and watching on the internet, and everything is conflicting

I would be very sceptical with sources for a bit. There's apparently quite a lot of footage of "Turkey" floating around right now which is actually from Libya/Syria/etc

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

There are no enough information but looks like this one is a failed attempt. Successful coup would arrest Erdogan by now.

He left the country and gave a speech calling for civilian resistance over FaceTime.
