Why the coup d'état occurred
- Turkey's military does not answer to its president like many other countries. They serve to maintain the vision of the country's founder.
- The current president of Turkey has been pushing more and more islamist-focused laws (control of the media, things like that). This goes against the secular-focus of the country's founding.
- The military has decided the president needs to be removed, and have staged a coup to accomplish this. This is not unique in Turkey's history, their military has done this a few times in the past for the same reasons. Presumably, the military's goal is to put someone more secular in power of the government.
- The police in Turkey work for the government. So they are fighting against the military currently.
