I was in Thailand shortly after their last one. They've had so many that no one hardly even seems to care anymore. All the locals I talked to had much higher opinions of the military vs. any of the political parties/leaders. Reading up on Turkey it seems to be a very similar situation, they just can't seem to get a grasp on a functioning democracy
