Don't think their support or condemnation is really relevant, as if they survive the coup they'll quietly fall in and attempt to profit from the death of AKP.

I don't know that the heads of parties have all that much sway here - they may be loyal to the democratic system but they don't have any power here unless their rank and file prefer Erdogan to a coup.

The Turkish military likes to rewrite constitutions and hand power back to an elected government as quickly as they can. Non-cooperation from the big two opposition parties will be a stumbling block

Putin apologist- assume all uncited claims are from Russia Today or directly from FSB.

key phrases: Poor plucky little Russia, Spheres of influence, The West is Worse, they was asking for it.
Pictures look more like people fraternizing with the soldiers to me.

Erdogan tried to defang the military, but well, he hosed himself over by sending the military into multiple conflicts which made him rely on it.
He also simultaneously messed up his relations with the Urban middle class and with the Kurds.

His backing of ISIS also meant that he was no longer the most Islamist guy in town (which means that hardcore islamists dont actually support him," real and authentic Caliphate" is right over the border).

Pentagon dislikes him for attacking the Kurds, Russia dislikes him for shooting down planes, EU dislikes them for trying to blackmail them with refugees. Oh yeah, Gulf Arabs now also dislike him for apologizing to Russia and starting a 180 degree turn in Syria. He even managed to piss of China by backing "Turkmen" (actually Uighur) insurgents in Syria who were seeing it as a training ground for Jihad in Xinjiang.

Erdogan has zero friends, and way too many enemies.

TLDR: Dont purge if you want to go to war soon.
The only major powers he did not manage to totally piss are Japan, India and Brazil.

Not quite yet, it is a coup that has fairly wide military support, it will only start to fall apart when that support starts to fail.

Which could occur if is stops being a (mostly) bloodless coup and they're forced to start shooting protesters in the street after Edrogan's call. Edrogan's facetime, which the twitterati and hot take experts here roundly mocked is a clear and dangerous call for escalation and despite what people may choose to believe he does have a large amount of support in the country and, at the moment, despite twitter reports of him fleeing the country, it doesn't seem like he's planning on giving in yet.

The MHP have begun leaning into the Islamic nationalist side of their ideology with more confidence in recent years so I don't think they will be coming out to back the military if the move to remove some of the religious reforms the AKP pushed through

So a successful military coup seems pretty bad. And a failed coup with Erdogan weathering the storm seems like it would be many times worse than the old Turkey of Erdogan we had four hours ago too. So this is great!
