To strengthen Erdogan, but to give Iran control of the Middle East.

Erdogan has played with fire and will be badly burnt. Kemalism was the root of Turkeys prosperity for close to 100 years and Erdogan has upset that balance.

Everything Obama has touched in the past seven years has turned out the same - catastrophic. If I didn’t know better (thanks to the media), I would conclude that Obama’s goals are not compatible with America’s security, stability, or success.

Erdogan took preemptive action several years ago getting rid of as many of the high ranking officers who weren't 100% in his camp. As obama has done here.

This will end with a Turk incursion into Syria to preserve Erdogan's pride, or a Turk military coup. Erdogan got rid of all the Generals that would had opposed him, similar to Stalin's purge of the Red Army just before WW2.
