Oh no

Turkey was like the only secular muslim majority country. Just hope whoever is leading this coup is a decent guy. Dictatorships have much more potential to benefit a country than any democracy ever could, so who knows maybe this could be for the best. But dictatorships are also much more likely to be bad for the country so it doesn't look promising

Coups in Turkey are generally good and dispose of corrupt politicians. The military always gave control back to civilian govt after a while, unlike say South America or Arab World where the generals become dictators for life.
