1) Honestly I did not, because I was under the impression (given by some here) that Erdogan had affective control over his armed forces and his dictatorial control was more or less complete.
2) International relations should thaw a little, there will probably be some nashing of teeth about it being a military coup but honestly dealing with a Kemalist military will be a breath of fresh air.
Daesh will get a kicking from Turkey if they poke their heads across the border. Things will Russia won't be too bad, there'll be a bit of tension but nothing serious, things were already starting to calm down recently anyway so the tensions after the shootdown have almost normalised and I doubt that this will change that much.
I'm intrigued as to how things with the PKK are going to work out.
Oh...and here's one for Nippelspanner, Schroeder and Skybird to enjoy...
Reports indicate Erdogan is seeking asylum in Germany...
