-- Erdogan as important to Turkey as Ataturk, and trying to shape it in his own image as significantly as Ataturk did decades ago.
-- They’re at the opposite ends of the spectrum in their beliefs: Ataturk was a militant secularist, Erdogan a committed Islamist
-- Erdogan’s rise shows arc of Turkish history, from democracy to an ever more theocratic authoritarian state
-- This all matters because a more religious version of Vladimir Putin is now at the helm of the biggest, richest and most militarily powerful US ally in the region.

The things said in 5:41 are wrong or incomplete. The soldiers who want to carry out this coup are the soldiers of a community that is not loyal to Atatürk, worked with Erdoğan before and had a conflict of interest. After this conflict, they wanted to stage a coup first in the political party and then in the country. But Erdogan did not allow this by calling his followers to the streets. In fact, those who took to the streets did nothing. Most of the soldiers there are insignificant privates. They didn't even know what was going on there. When they were told the truth, many surrendered to the police. Unfortunately, many are still on trial. They are even forcibly detained without trial. There are even only military students among them. If there was a coup supported by the people. It would definitely be successful. However, there are almost no followers of Atatürk in the military who are strong enough to make a coup. Many soldiers are now members of extremist religious sects.
