Maybe Mr Erdoghans purge of key military personnel works just as well for him now as Stalin's did back in the day...

My idea is that some big-egoed fame-craving local commander wanted to enforce a victorious advance or capture in a fashion and with insufficient resources so that this mission necessarily must end as a still birth. I have seen such guys there, full of their own egoes - and thus the worst enemy of their subordinate troops.
But too little details of the fight are known in public.
