"Bloody and brutal coup"... oh the hiperbole.

The brutality seems to have been mostly by Erdogan supporters; though this is probably not what the article was trying to convey...

The casualty numbers are out there.. no need for "seems"

Anti-coup casualties: 161 civilians and police officers

Pro-coup casualties: 104 military

I'm no fan of Erdogan's "reforms" after the coup, but there's no need to alter the narrative in favour of a preferred agenda.
