As @Boukert mentioned, there has been some speculation since the coup that it was planned by Erdogan (actually informed speculation, not just conspiracy shitposting). Whether it was or not, it has certainly worked out well for him. In the past couple of years he has been removing people from positions in the government and military that were an obstacle to him, and has extended his powers in some very questionable ways.
Basically Erdogan is becoming a God emperor and it's worrying.
