This does not bode well for Turkey. It is unfathomable how 21,000 teachers were directly related to the coup attempt.

It makes me think that the coup was Turkey's Reichstag fire moment.

Absolutely. From the comfort of the States, I am glad that the coup did not succeed, but only because Turkey falling into chaos would be beyond terrible. That said, the recent fallout has all the markings of opportunism and expansion of power.
Not sure I am going to be able to appreciate the difference between chaos and what seems likely to follow this.
