It would be unrealistic to call the events of 15 July 2016 as a genuine coup attempt. They fit best to the definition of a Self-Coup. Erdogan’s partners in the Government and the bureaucracy were ready well before the events broke out. Their goal was to set up bloody confrontations and increase the death toll. The suspicious acts of the chief of the Turkish Military General Hulusi Akar and the Army, Navy, Air Force and Gendarmerie service chiefs suggest that they had earlier agreed with Erdogan on staging a fake coup. A press release by the Turkish Military stated that the dissented personnel amounted to 8,651, mostly mobilized in Istanbul and Ankara. Almost half of them were cadets and conscripts. However, the crackdown was devastating. Mass arrests throughout the country begun immediately. Thousands of judges and prosecutors, including two members of the Supreme Court, were the first in line.
Erdogan’s partners in the Military provided him with a golden opportunity to consolidate a dictatorial regime and redesign the country. A few days later, Erdogan declared the State of Emergency and announced a series of Government dictated laws. The authorities of the police and the judiciary expanded tremendously. The State of Emergency provided Erdogan unconstrained power to suppress his opponents, extend his rule, and change the country’s democracy into tyranny. Erdogan’s regime jailed more journalists than all the other nations of the world. His Government sacked 151,967 government employees, detained 138,579 citizens, and arrested 78,687. 5,822 academicians and 4,463 judges and prosecutors were among the purged. The Military lost almost 30,000 military officials, 17,000 military cadets and nearly two-thirds of its cadre of generals and admirals. Approximately 90% of the career officers were expelled from the Military.
Keeping the hope in Turkey is hard. However, the authors of this study are hopeful. They firmly believe that a promising future for Turkey is possible and not so far. They trust the wisdom of their people. They are sure that this wisdom will eventually recall the respect for freedoms, the firm commitment to the rule of law and the more than a century-long strive for a genuine democracy.
The coup wasn't done by Erdogan you ape. There are recorded talks of pilots who bombed and they say in their official statements at court that they operated the bombing to make a coup not as a joke or conspiracy. All this sounds like events in an African country which is sad for Turkey, but main thing remains that they acknowledge.

Of course the Sultan was clever enough to push some Kemalists to attempt a coup, and Hakan Fidan made sure they thought they had the support of the most of the army, but in reality only 1,5% of the Turkish armed forces "participated", most of them being fooled into believing that they were participating an some exercise or moved to avoid a terrorist attack or whatever not related to a coup.
The recorded talks can easily be faked. Even who actually was in those planes could be faked. Of course a Turk like you would never understand...

Both ERDOGAN and his Prime Minister YILDIRIM consistently claim that they were unaware of the suspected activities and the serious measures taken by AKAR and FIDAN. They insist that they had not been informed by AKAR or by FIDAN.
YILDIRIM stated to media on 22nd July: “I learned the coup 15 minutes after it started. No one informed me before that”. ERDOGAN gave conflicting times about when he learned about the coup [1].
On 16th July 04:22, during his appearance in front of the media, after landing in Istanbul, he stated: “there were some movements within the military in the afternoon” of 15th of July [2]. He said that his brother-in-law told him about an unusual military activity in front of Beylerbeyi Palace.
On the 18th of July, during an interview with CNN International, he stated: “I learned about developments at 20:00 and decided to act against”.
On 20th July, during an interview with Al Jazeera, five days after the events, for the first time he stated; “I learned the coup from my brother-in-law”.
On 21st July, during an interview with Reuters, he stated “there were some movements in the afternoon; I learned the coup from my brother-in-law around 16:00-16:30.
On 30th July, he changed the timing again and stated, “I learned the coup from my brother-in-law around 21:00; I’ve been confusing the time”.
In reality, AKAR’s Deputy, GULER testified that three hours before the start of the events, FIDAN had called the head of ERDOGAN’s guards and asked him at least two times if he had enough men and ammunition to protect the President against an attack.
FIDAN’s call to ERDOGAN’s head of guards around 18:30 that day and ERDOGAN’s plan to prepare four planes at four different locations show that he had previous knowledge. Perincek: “We had warned the nation about the coup 14 days prior.” Three months after the events, ERDOGAN’s close ally and head of the pro-Russian and ultra-nationalist “Patriotic Party” Dogu PERINCEK stated that: “We had warned the nation about the coup 14 days prior with a party declaration dated 1st July 2016” [3].
PERINCEK on 15 February 2017 stated[4] [5];
“One day before the coup attempt, our party’s deputy Atilla UGUR went to Yeni Safak and informed them that within a few days there would be a coup attempt from FETO Terrorists. UGUR told them to inform the Government as well.”
Yeni Safak journalist Huseyin LIKOGLU admitted that he was warned the day prior by UGUR about an imminent coup attempt [6]. It is impossible to think that LIKOGLU did not share this information with ERDOGAN, YILDIRIM, and FIDAN.
Additionally, Putin’s private representative Dugin clearly stated that he warned the Turkish Government about the coup one day prior, on 14 July [7].
