S. ties have neared a breaking point recently over a number issues, including U.S. support for the YPG, the extradition of Gulen, accused by Ankara of masterminding a 2016 abortive putsch, and last month's U.S. conviction of an executive from Turkey's Halkbank for helping Iran evade U.S. sanctions.

Although unjustified, Russia's aggression was understandable, given the expansion of NATO contra the understanding of Russian leaders, dismantlement of Russia's historic friend Serbia, support for "color" revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine to Moscow's detriment, and support for a street putsch against the democratically-elected, pro-Russian leader in Kiev.

Kilic cited confessions by some alleged coup plotters and visits he said they paid Gulen at his Pennsylvania compound in the days leading up to the failed putsch as proof that the 79-year-old cleric was behind the coup, in which more than 240 people were killed.

During those previous coups, the Turkish officers, largely pro-Western and secular, sought to maintain close relations with NATO and the U.S. Some of the officers involved in Friday's putsch said they intended to maintain Turkey's NATO commitments according to an announcement made on state TV in the early hours.

For the sake of worldwide efforts to restore peace in turbulent times, as well as to safeguard the future of democracy in the Middle East, the United States must not accommodate an autocrat who is turning a failed putsch into a slow-motion coup of his own against constitutional government.

More than 45,000 government officials, soldiers, police officers, teachers and journalists have been arrested since the coup attempt, most of them suspected of having connections to the Gulenist movement, a group led by Fethullah Gulen, an exiled cleric living in the United States, that Turkey believes was behind the attempted putsch.
