Word is that the military involved in the coup absolutely does not have full power, and is in running battles with pro-AKP police, and pro-AKP factions of the rest of the military.

Erdogan's government is the target.

And you do it while he's away so he can't coordinate a response, basically.

According to the BBC live feed:
"Military faction 'struggling to take over streets' - government official
Posted at 00:53

A senior Turkish government official tells the Reuters news agency that a faction of the military was attempting to seize power. It had control of some tanks and had ordered troops to try to take over the streets, but had been unable to do so in many areas, the official said.

Insecurity was likely to continue for the next 24 hours, the official added."

Sky News also showed how protestes climbed on a tank after the machinegunner fired in the air.

It will however be anti-Islamist, and I assume therein lies his motive.

I doubt it's anywhere near that simple.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

What else could potentially happen? At the very least the military (or someone) is going to have to oust the revolting soldiers from their current positions.
