The EU in particular waited until it was pretty clear that the coup was going to fail before siding with “turkish democracy“. The dramatic events taking place in Turkey were received with silence for over 4 hours from the EU. Clearly, they were hoping that the coup would prove succesful to drop annoying Erdogan. The USA, experienced as they are, were more nuanced, siding with democracy early on, without clearly specifying what they meant. Nobody explicitely defended the elected government until the coup was obviously failing. Pretty oportunist if you ask me: https://twitter.com/gonvaled/status/754121385878913024 https://twitter.com/gonvaled/status/754121385878913024 https://twitter.com/gonvaled/status/754079673403994112 https://twitter.com/gonvaled/status/754079673403994112 https://twitter.com/gonvaled/status/754070719110193152 https://twitter.com/gonvaled/status/754070719110193152 Pretty sure Erdogan felt betrayed.
